| Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2563 This course provides an in-depth examination of research and theory in a particular area of clinical psychology. Topics will vary from year to year.; Current topic description for Anxiety in Depth: Most of us feel anxious at some point in our lives. We can worry about exams, our health, our family and friends, and so much more. We may jump to negative conclusions without all the facts, and this can add stress to our days, get in the way of our goals and negatively affect our relationships. This seminar provides a comprehensive look into anxiety, what it does to our brains and bodies and why humans experience so much of it in our daily lives. While attending to both the current theories and etiology of anxiety, students will have the opportunity to go in-depth when learning to apply evidence-based cognitive and behavioral interventions. Students will engage in case conceptualizations, identify and evaluate anxious thoughts, learn to incorporate mindfulness and meditation, implement cognitive/behavioral techniques, gain an awareness of exposure exercises and explore medication options. Students will also delve into DSM-5 anxiety disorders and how treatments and interventions can be applied to specific symptoms. Lastly, students will explore emerging topics in research such as the impact of the pandemic on those who experience anxiety.
