CONFERENCE ABSTRACT Anxiety disorders:
Disorder-specific vs. transdiagnostic
therapy
Historically, the emphasis in
cognitive behavioral therapy for the
anxiety disorders has been on disorder-specific
therapy. However, there is increasing
evidence (e.g., David Barlow) that
trasndiagnostic cognitive behavioral therapy can
be surprisingly effective. It is argued
that what is required is a combination of
disorder-specific and transdiagnostic
ingredients in treatment of the anxiety
disorders. It is also argued that the diagnosis
of anxiety disorders should move towards more
emphasis on similarities among disorders rather
than simply differences.
