Goodfellow Unit Webinar: Stress & Anxiety

 

In this webinar, Professor Bruce Arroll looks at how we label patients with stress, anxiety, and depression by considering transdiagnostic labels. He will deal with the why and how, and highlight the dangers of labels in primary care. The other new approach will be to describe the “massive” reframe done by Dr David Burns (Psychiatrist Standford Uni ) in his best-selling new book “Feeling Great.” He calls this process the “assessment of resistance” and it is truly a breakthrough in terms of changing cognitions in patients. He is able to get dramatic changes in his patients using this method. Bruce will also talk about behavioural activation which is probably the most effective treatment for depression and very easy to do in primary care.
