1 Wise Mind AB Unified Protocol for the Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders Tre utbildningsdagar med Shannon Sauer-Zavala, Ph. D. SESIMBRA 1-4 juli 2014 Sesimbra, fyra mil söder om Lissabon, är en fiskeby som på senare tid vuxit ut till en mysig turistort med genuint och avspänt folkliv. Fisk- och skaldjursrestauranger av hög kvalitet, bra golfbanor och vackra stränder lockar många till byn. Sesimbra ligger på Costa Azul vid nationalparken Serra da Arrábidas sluttningar. Utbildningen är förlagd till fyrstjärniga Hotel Sana Sesimbra som ligger direkt vid strandpromenaden. Workshop Description: The proliferation of specific treatment manuals for specific disorders has created unintended barriers for implementation and dissemination of evidence-based psychological treatments (McHugh & Barlow, 2012). Research emerging from the field of emotion science suggests that individuals suffering from anxiety and mood disorders tend to experience negative affect more frequently and more intensely than healthy individuals (Campbell-Sills & Barlow, 2007; Etkin & Wagner, 2007), and tend to view these experiences as more aversive (Roemer, Salters, Raffa, & Orsillo, 2005). Deficits in emotion regulation, emerging out of unsuccessful efforts to avoid or dampen the intensity of uncomfortable emotions, have been found to cut across the emotional disorders (Barlow, Allen, & Choate, 2004; Mennin, Heimberg, Turk, & Fresco, 2005), and have become a core target for therapeutic change (Barlow, Allen, &

2 Choate, 2004). The Unified Protocol for the Treatment of Emotional Disorders (UP; Barlow et al., 2011) is a recently developed transdiagnostic, emotion-focused cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT) that targets deficits in emotion regulation that occur across the neurotic spectrum. This workshop will first briefly review evidence supporting the development of such transdiagnostic interventions. This will be followed by a description and demonstration of how to apply core UP treatment modules, along with the similarities and differences between the UP and traditional CBT for anxiety and mood disorders. Audio and videotaped illustrations of core treatment interventions (e.g., mindful awareness, emotion exposures) will be presented, along with detailed case examples involving complex comorbidity. Attendees will be invited to participate in exercises as part of these demonstrations. Educational Objectives Workshop attendees will learn: (a) Participants will develop a unified, transdiagnostic case conceptualization for patients presenting with comorbid emotional disorders. (b) Participants will apply emotion-focused treatment concepts and strategies (e.g., objective monitoring, emotional awareness training, cognitive reappraisal, reduction of emotional avoidance and maladaptive emotion driven behaviors) to patients presenting with comorbid emotional disorders. (c) Participants will create effective and cohesive emotion exposures for patients with depression and complex comorbidities. About the Presenter Shannon Sauer-Zavala, Director of Education and Training for the Unified Protocol, Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders at Boston University. Shannon received her doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Kentucky and completed her internship at Duke University Medical Center. Her research is focused on exploring emotion-focused mechanisms that maintain psychological symptoms and using this information to develop more targeted, easilydisseminated intervention strategies. Clinically, she enjoys working with patients with borderline personality disorder and is currently pilot testing the Unified Protocol with this population.
