by existing anxiety-based treatment models. This workshop will
provide clinicians with specific assessment and management skills
based upon the so-called five areas assessment CBT model - and
focus upon a range of interventions to help the patient use
experiments and structured problem solving plans to improve how
they feel.
This course is eligible for 6
