Course Description:
Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is a chronic and debilitating condition characterized by high co-morbidity. Alongside pharmacological treatment, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an established psychological therapy for GAD. Its effectiveness is limited, however, with only an estimated 50% of clients presenting in the non-clinical range after a course of treatment. Furthermore, not all clients prefer CBT as a psychological therapy. Recently, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) was developed for GAD and was tested in an open trial with promising results. This 1 Hour CE course will explore the use of Emotion Focused Therapy for Generalized Anxiety Disorder.
