Phobias and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)
are two of the most common problems for which people seek therapy.
Hear the principles of successful phobia
treatment, such as "exposure beyond the goal." Diverse case examples
illustrate the five-step treatment phases and how CT can be
personalized to more quickly identify and change the central fears
maintaining phobias.
The phobia treatment protocol is sometimes
misapplied, especially with social phobia. Dr. Padesky describes her
own approach to treating social phobia which emphasizes coping with
criticism rather than changing the client's expectation that people
will be critical. Both adult and child cases are presented.
The treatment of GAD focuses on developing
confidence in coping rather than testing dangerousness beliefs on
thought records. The PR Plan®, specifically devised as an
intervention tool for clients with GAD, is described. The listener
is guided through the PR Plan™ in an exercise so clinicians can hear
directly how this method is used.
