David Barlow – Treating Anxiety Disorders A Unified Protocol

Descripton Of Treating Anxiety Disorders A Unified Protocol

It can be overwhelming trying to master all the single-diagnosis techniques out there for the treatment of anxiety and related emotional disorders. Renowned researcher and clinician Dr. David Barlow pulls them all together into a Unified Protocol, and teaches you through live clinical demonstration how to make your therapy more efficient and effective.

OCD, GAD, PTSD, SAD, MDD! It would take a professional lifetime to learn let alone become proficient in the treatments for all these anxiety and related mood disorders. And it is so easy to get lost chasing down the myriad and often overlapping symptoms of these typically comorbid conditions. Well, you may finally breathe easy because Dr. David Barlow has dedicated his entire career to developing the Unified Protocol–a straightforward, step-by-step approach to understanding and treating anxiety and related emotional disorders.

By watching powerful clinical demonstrations with Dr. Barlow and his team, you will learn to better help clients connect with and resolve painful emotions, disturbing thoughts, and destructive behaviors. In turn, your clients will gain a deeper understanding of their problems and develop skills to resolve them.

Compassionate, concise and clinically astute, Dr. Barlow has a gift for translating theoretical complexity into simple, engaging discussion, and the morass of decades of often confusing and conflicting treatment literature into clear clinical guidelines. Watch and learn as he and his talented team go to work with real-life clients besieged by anxiety and related symptoms.

In Depth

By its nature, the sheer pervasiveness of anxiety and related mood disorders leaves clients feeling uncertain, fragmented and distressed, with clinicians similarly trying to keep up in a game of therapeutic whack-a-mole.

Masterful at organizing and simplifying complex theory and techniques, Dr. Barlow has identified and will teach you the five core skills for helping clients reduce their distress; mindful emotional awareness, challenging automatic thoughts, overcoming avoidance tactics, increasing distress tolerance, and safe emotional exposure. And he does so by walking you step-by-step through eight scientifically-grounded modules of treatment which include setting goals, understanding emotions, cognitive flexibility, emotional exposure and recognizing accomplishment.

Honed over decades of tested clinical research with thousands of patients, the beauty of the Unified Protocol is its simplicity, both in theory and practice. It is ready right out of the box to help you work efficiently and effectively with your clients struggling with anxiety and related emotional disorders.
