The Center for Counter-Conditioning Therapy®, located in Oakland California, is a non-cognitive, cross-cultural mental health clinic.  The Center teaches people emotional self-management skills via the Center’s exclusive methodology C-CTherapy®.  C-CTherapy® treats the same categories of mental health cases as do cognitive, medical-model therapies.  C-CTherapy® does NOT provide traditional counselling services--“friendly-visiting”, nor does the Center provide drugs therapy strategies.  Instead, the Center’s unique skill-acquisition approach marks the difference between C-CTherapy® and cognitive, medical-model therapies.  The C-CTherapy® patient becomes a treatment partner during the process of learning a mental health skill.  He is, therefore, an integral part of the emotional self-management, skill-acquisition team.  The Center’s exclusive design originated in 1964.  All C-CTherapy® programs are based upon human behaviour universals as defined by the discipline of Clinical Ethnology.  C-CTherapy® is unlike any treatment technique in the practice field of mental health. 

PROGRAMS

          1.)  Counselling Information Program ( C.I.P.) 

The Center’s monographs and articles on this website perform a mental health counselling function.  The Center defines counselling as the dispensing of information.  It matters not whether this dispensing is practiced by a psychiatrist, a psychologist or by a variety of mental health practitioners called counsellors. 

Those of the world’s public who access the Center’s FREE Counselling Information Program obtain its unique perspective.  Those readers will also profit from reading the books listed in the supporting documentation following each monograph. 

Readers who wish to go beyond the website’s free counselling program are advised to contact the Center in order to participate in its TELEPSYCHOTHERAPY service.

2.)  Short-term Program

This program is of six (6) sessions and is structured so as to take the mystery out of one’s current functioning mentality.
