Transdiagnostic Approaches to Treating Anxiety and Related Disorders
Half-Day Virtual Workshop with Martin M. Antony, PhD, FRSC

The presentation will discuss (1) the rationale and empirical support underlying transdiagnostic approaches, (2) Barlow’s Unified Protocol for Emotional Disorders, (3) Norton’s Transdiagnostic Group Treatment; and (4) transdiagnostic case formulation based treatments. Participants will receive a comprehensive handout.
