The Essentials of CBT for Anxiety Disorders (Enduring)

This four-part course focuses on CBT for anxiety disorders. The course begins with an overview and introduction to three “patients” who are then followed in three additional sections. Each patient highlights a core component of CBT. The first section focuses on cognitive skills, exemplified through a patient struggling with social anxiety disorder. The second section focuses on behavioral interventions such as behavioral and interoceptive exposure for a patient with panic disorder. Finally, joining these skills together, the last section focuses on mindfulness in CBT for generalized anxiety. Throughout each section expert clinicians will demonstrate, via role-plays, the application of these skills through the three “patients”.
