- This point–counterpoint session takes on how psychological disorders should be classified and what those choices mean for therapy. The discussion contrasts diagnosis-based categories with dimensional, transdiagnostic models that emphasize temperament, emotion regulation, and shared mechanisms across anxiety and mood disorders. Participants hear a thoughtful debate on vulnerability versus resilience, the role of self-efficacy and attachment, and how research on emotion, learning, and control can reshape both assessment and treatment. The session invites clinicians to rethink diagnosis not as an endpoint, but as a guide to more flexible, principle-driven intervention.

Through stories, clinical examples, and ten practical steps, the session shows how acceptance restores agency, reduces self-blame, and creates the option of reconciliation only when it is safe and genuinely earned.
