The Process of Change in Anxiety Disorder Treatment: Common Elements Across Treatment Models and Modes
Every clinical intervention is, by definition, a technology of change. In the treatment of anxiety disorders, the change that is brought about, via any clinical intervention, follows a common thread–behavioral remission of anxiety-based safety behaviors. This presentation will look at how different modes of treatment (psychotherapy, pharmacotherapy, behavioral support coaching), and different therapy models (cognitive therapy, behavioral therapy, CBT and third wave models such as DBT and ACT) all promote the necessary behavior change which is at the heart of successful treatment outcomes for anxiety disorders.
