Overview:
Overview:
Anxiety disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) are prevalent in the community and cause significant public health burden. Fortunately cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can provide relief for many who suffer from these conditions. This full
day workshop will aim to cover the basics of the cognitive-behavioral approach to anxiety disorders and OCD. The first half of
the workshop will focus on the anxiety disorders (including phobias, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and social
anxiety disorder) so that practitioners will be able to differentially diagnose these conditions and develop effective treatment plans
for their patients. The second half of the workshop will focus specifically on OCD, for which exposure and ritual prevention (ERP) is a highly effective treatment. This interactive workshop will train therapists to implement standard ERP and help them to devise individualized treatment modifications to meet the needs of patients at risk for poor therapeutic outcomes.
