GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Anxiety disorders are now recognized as the most common emotional disorder in North America as well as in 16 out of 17 countries recently surveyed by the World Health Organization. The soaring trend towards anxiety has been accelerated by global stress and high-profile threats such as terrorism, natural disasters, economic recession, school violence, pandemic illness and other stressors. The increasing rate of threats to children’s and adolescents’ security, which also includes divorce, bullying, and violence in the media, has produced a “shell shocked” generation suffering from anxiety. Our challenge is to recognize anxiety in children and help them cope.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
In this workshop participants will grasp how anxiety develops in children and adolescents, and acquire practical treatment strategies that can be applied immediately in their professional work. Seven key anxiety disorders will be addressed: separation anxiety disorder, panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorders, social anxiety disorder, phobias, and trauma and stressor-related disorders. Emphasis will be on integrative psychotherapeutic interventions involving insight-oriented, cognitive-behavioral, mind-body, solution-oriented and family systems approaches.
