Joan Davidson will present a workshop with Rochelle Frank, Ph.D., “The Role of Cognitive and Emotional Schemas in Transdiagnostic Formulations for Anxiety and OCD: Possible Make-or-Break Factors When Implementing Treatment” at the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA) Annual Conference, March 17-20, 2022, in Denver, CO. When targeting specific transdiagnostic mechanisms in anxiety and OCD treatments (e.g., intolerance of uncertainty, perfectionism, anxiety sensitivity, and others), more pervasive psychological processes affecting readiness to engage in acceptance- and exposure-based interventions can be overlooked. This workshop addresses the role of cognitive and emotional schemas, along with negative life events (e.g., trauma, social injustices, histories of increased vulnerability) when formulating hypotheses about resistance to treatment engagement. ADAA’s annual conference offers an ALL-INCLUSIVE fee, including CE/CME credit for all professional level registrations, for the entire 4-day event. There are no add-on or a la carte fees.

Essential Components of Cognitive-Behavior Therapy for Depression

Authors: Jacqueline B. Persons, Joan Davidson, & Michael A. Tompkins. 2001. The American Psychological Association. This volume presents the essential components of cognitive-behavior therapy for depression. Throughout, the authors emphasize the theory and practices of Aaron T. Beck to create a book that is grounded in the best of CBT’s traditions but that refines and fleshes out the practical aspects of its application. The method described is flexible enough to be used in disorders other than depression, including eating disorders and anxiety. Intended for both trainees and practitioners in the mental health professions, the book details the five basic components of the therapy in practice: developing an individualized case formulation, session structuring, activity scheduling, the thought record, and the schema change method. A thorough case study is included to illustrate how the therapist uses the case formulation to plan and carry out treatment. Examples of each major intervention are also provided as well as a demonstration of how the assessment and intervention strategies are woven together over the course of treatment. This is the perfect teaching tool for those working in clinical, counseling, and health psychology as well as social work, psychiatry, psychiatric nurses, marriage and family counseling, and pastoral counseling. A complete video series is also available that illustrates the techniques described in the book. Visit www.apa.org/videos/. Purchase
