John Piacentini, Ph.D. ABPP
Strategic Clinical Advisor
A key skill of a CBT therapist is to provide a rationale and framework for the treatment being offered. Psycho education about the presenting clinical symptoms is an essential first step in this process in order to enhance treatment buy-in and collaboration. Participants will learn to identify key differences between anxiety, stress and fear. They will understand the core assessment mechanisms for diagnosing clinical levels of anxiety: frequency, interference,distress and duration. Participants will be able to list core features of the tripartite model of anxiety, the CBT model for anxiety, and the fight/flight/freeze response. Participants will hear strategies for how to discuss these terms in a conversational format with patients and to begin collaborative work toward setting treatment goals.
Participants will be able to fluidly describe facts about anxiety symptoms and common avoidant behaviors, answer patient and family questions about anxiety, and learn how to individualize answers to a patient’s level of development and motivation. Lastly, participants will learn the definition of family accommodation for the anxiety disorders, learn the ways in which this can be present between and among family members, and describe how this contributes the maintenance of anxiety symptoms once present.
