In what sequence should the modules be taken?  The modules are designed to be taken in any order whatsoever. Choose your starting workshop based on what's most appealing to you.

How is medical CBT different from orthodox CBT?  Medical CBT assumes the practitioner has little background in psychology, works within the constraints of ten-minute appointments, and often treats patients with little or no insight. Orthodox CBT is designed for full-time psychotherapists, and assumes a series of one-hour appointments with fairly psychologically-minded patients.
