About This Course

Panic disorder and agoraphobia are two highly comorbid anxiety disorders that respond well to exposure-based cognitive behavioral therapy (Papola et al, 2022; Pompoli et al, 2018). This presentation will review diagnostic criteria for both disorders, including possible differences in clinical presentation related to diverse identities (American Psychiatric Association, 2022). Then, the construct of anxiety sensitivity and its relation to panic and agoraphobia will be discussed. Last, cognitive behavioral interventions for these diagnoses will be introduced, with a particular focus on in vivo and interoceptive exposures.


Course created: December 2024
