PSY 453 - Theories of and Treatments for Anxiety and Trauma3 Credits
Offered periodically or as needed
This advanced research-based and writing-intensive seminar explores the psychological impact of stress, anxiety, and trauma with an emphasis on the psychological theories used to explain and treat symptoms associated with these conditions. In holistically discussing transdiagnostic fear-based disorders (FBDs; e.g., panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, post traumatic stress disorder), we cover diagnostic methods and evidence-based psychological treatment approaches. Through empirical texts, podcasts, video clips, and case examples, we also address sociocultural correlates, clinical considerations, comorbid medical diagnoses, and novel treatment approaches. In addition, we discuss mechanisms of positive change following a traumatic event, such as post-traumatic growth.
