HUH B23 - Transdiagnostic Treatment

Course Description

Transdiagnostic treatments are clinical interventions that can be applied across diagnostic categories to address underlying emotional disorders. In this training, David Barlow’s Unified Protocol: Transdiagnostic Treatment for Emotional Disorders (UP) will be introduced. The UP incorporates elements of behaviorism from all three waves, including mindfulness, cognitive restructuring and emotional exposure. The UP can be applied to a range of different disorders and problems that share emotional dysfunction as their core (e.g., panic attacks, social anxiety, obsessive thought/compulsions, depressed mood, impulsive behaviors, and eating disorders). The overarching goal of the UP is to help patients learn new ways of responding to uncomfortable emotions that reduce symptoms across a patient’s range of problems. Participants will leave this course with new skills to implement in their practice.
