Cognitive Behavioral Treatment for Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia: An evidence-based approach
Description
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the most empirically supported psychotherapeutic treatment for panic disorder and agoraphobia (these two conditions often co-occur). This presentation will focus on the assessment, case conceptualization, and evidence-based psychotherapeutic strategies to be applied to individuals suffering from this often debilitating condition. Treatment strategies covered include psychoeducation, cognitive restructuring, respiratory control, situational exposure, and interoceptive exposure. The focus of the creation of exposure exercises will be to maximize inhibitory learning. All of these strategies can be modified and applied to cognitive and phobic aspects of other anxiety disorders as well.
