Description

Description:

Ten myths, some contradictory, some interconnected, are outlined, followed by a fairly detailed exposition and rebuttal. The treatment of a young man with panic disorder is discussed as an exemplar of the need to apply data-based treatments of choice within the context of clinical artistry. Technical eclecticism is defined and is offered as a possible solution to many common misconceptions.

Educational Objectives:

  1. To underscore specific treatments of choice for several dysfunctions.
  2. To emphasize the relationship between theory and technique selection.
  3. To document specific clinical/therapeutic contraindications.
