This workshop outlines the evidence-base underlying transdiagnostic cognitive behavioural group therapy for emotional disorders, and provides an introduction and explanation of the principal conceptual differences from traditional CBT for each of the anxiety and depressive disorder diagnoses.
The “transdiagnostic” approach is gaining widespread acceptance because it enables therapists to treat a variety of emotional disorders, including anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and depressive disorders, using a single treatment approach that targets the common processes underlying and maintaining the disorders. Transdiagnostic CBT has also shown to be particularly effective in treating complex comorbid presentations.
