Avy Joseph/Maggie Chapman
A one day workshop for professional practitioners. Imagine you've just stepped into a lift and suddenly your heart races, your chest aches, you break out in a cold sweat and feel as if the lift is about to crash to the ground and you feel as if you are about to die. This is a classic panic attack. People with panic disorders are more likely to seek help with their problem than those with any other psychiatric diagnosis. It is estimated that least 2 million people in the UK alone suffer from panic attacks.
You will:
* receive up to date information on the nature, symptoms, causes, theories and treatment of both routine and challenging cases of panic disorder.
* learn about indications and contraindications for various treatment procedures.
* be given an account of psychological therapy together with a protocol for a session by session treatment based on paradoxical homework prescription.
* receive information about the available drug treatment.
