Tools for emotional, cognitive, and interpersonal rehabilitation work from the three waves of CBT

About the course:

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and the recovery approach have many points of introduction. The most prominent are the definition of goals by the service recipient, who is perceived as an expert in himself; a perspective and conversation at eye level; and the aspiration to help the service recipient lead his own life. The current course starts from these starting assumptions and allows students to learn skills that will help them support the rehabilitation and recovery processes of service recipients.

The first part of the course will review and invite practice of basic principles of the first wave ( behavioral therapy ) and the second wave ( cognitive therapy ) of cognitive-behavioral therapy. The course will then use these principles to learn selected interventions and skills from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), which belong to the third wave of CBT.

Course objectives:

  • The student will learn key concepts from the behavioral approach and how to identify them in their own behavior and that of service recipients.
  • The student will learn to identify types of thoughts and how to use Socratic questioning effectively.
  • The student will learn how to use the matrix (from ACT) to help service recipients live values-oriented lives.
  • The student will learn how to use selected skills of mindfulness, resilience to distress, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness (from DBT) to help service recipients improve their ability to use their emotions and improve relationships.
  • The student will use the skills learned in and between classes, with himself and with service recipients at his workplace.

Course structure:

Tax Authority systems in Israel are a group of systems; the transition to cloud-based systems in Israel is designed to improve the service.

The Tax Authority systems include the following main systems: Income Tax, Property Tax, VAT, Customs and Collection.
The systems provide services in various areas of reforms, institutions that are not subject to VAT and also information for assessors, representatives and the public.

The emphasis on accessibility in the Tax Authority systems is reflected both in the external design and in the internal design.

The internal design focuses on building and managing accessible digital forms for handling VAT and Customs, as well as for handling business in Income Tax, VAT and Customs.

The authorities of the judiciary in Israel are divided between the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court serves as an appellate instance for judgments of the District Courts in Israel, and as a High Court of Justice. When sitting as a High Court of Justice, it hears appeals against the decisions of the District Courts, the Magistrates Courts and the Religious Courts. There are three types of appeals: the High Court of Justice, District Courts and Magistrate Courts.

The powers of the judiciary are influenced by the changes in the powers of the investigative authorities and the prosecuting authorities, in order to allow scrutiny and expansion on the history of the judiciary and its influence in the State of Israel.
