Abstract or brief
introduction of the workshop
|
This workshop will first review current knowledge of the nature and etiology of anxiety and panic and related emotional disorders and the variety of ways in which anxiety and panic are expressed both in the waking state and asleep. To date, separate individual treatments have been developed for each of the disorders. Now we have developed a transdiagnostic, unified approach to treating emotional disorders and the evidence supporting this approach and recent applications will be presented.
Workshop participants will learn how to apply treatment components to a wide range of emotional disorders through instruction, case examples, and clinical vignettes. You will learn: a) Evidence supporting a unified conceptualization of emotional disorders; b) Case conceptualization from a unified perspective; c) Application of core components of the Unified Treatment protocol; d) Challenges of applying treatment concepts to diagnostically diverse populations, including complex phobic reactions, depression, and obsessive compulsive hoarding; e) Strategies for preventing emotional avoidance and altering action tendencies; and f) How to create effective emotion exposures.
This workshop will be run by David H. Barlow, Chris Fairholme, Kristen Ellard, Xinghua Liu.
