Anxiety and Trauma: Assessment, Theory and Treatment Interventions

A growing body of empirical literature indicates that unresolved or untreated anxiety and/or trauma experiences are major barriers for healthy adaptation to the demands of life. Students in this class will obtain an introductory understanding of the epidemiology and clinical features, gender and ethnicity, onset and age differences, course and impairment, comorbidity (mood disorders and substance dependence), and assessment of a variety of anxiety disorders. Students will also apply their understanding of intervention strategies for anxiety disorders in case conceptualizations involving individuals with histories of anxiety and trauma.
