Thorough, measurable treatment plans using evidence-based methods are becoming the gold standard for clinicians working with agencies, insurance companies, and many health organizations. Even as this type of documentation becomes increasingly required, guidelines on how such plans actually look are still hard to come by. If you’ve been wondering what, exactly, comprises such a plan or have searched for resources on the empirically supported treatments on which these plans are based, you’ll find answers in this new video with Drs. Timothy Bruce and Arthur Jongsma In this video, the seasoned clinicians focus on panic disorder and demonstrate the crucial elements of evidence-based treatment planning for clients with this debilitating condition.

Noting that treatment plans aren’t created in a vacuum, but rather tailored to each client within the context of an authentic, empathic relationship, Bruce and Jongsma offer a clinical review of panic disorder’s features, as outlined in the DSM, along with a breakdown of panic attack symptoms and the potential triggers for related agoraphobia. You’ll gain a solid understanding of their six-step treatment planning process, geared toward building a plan informed by the latest empirically supported treatments (ESTs). A brief history of the EST movement provides further clinical context.

You’ll find sample treatment plans here, along with the clinicians’ expert commentary on the most researched ESTs. Through a series of live demonstrations with a client experiencing various types of panic, you’ll watch her therapist incorporate adaptive interventions using cognitive restructuring, progressive relaxation, exposure therapies, and other proven methods—with an emphasis on remembering how challenging such work can be for anxious clients. Definitions, goals, and relapse prevention are covered, too, for a well-rounded set of tools you can start using immediately to support your clients’ improvement while meeting professional requirements.

If you’ve been searching for resources on panic disorder or need to know how to create evidence-based treatment plans with confidence, look no further than this one-of-a-kind video.

What therapists are saying…

"Overall, I believe this is the best introduction to evidence-based treatment for panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and depression available. The treatments are presented in a clear and straightforward manner. The use of video to demonstrate the actual application of the major therapeutic strategies will lead to enhanced learning compared to written materials alone. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to teach themselves to use these treatments, as well as teachers, professors, or lecturers looking for training materials for students and beginning therapists in this area."

Timothy Bruce and Arthur Jongsma.

After giving an overview of the DSM criteria for panic disorder and the history of the empirically supported treatment (EST) movement, Bruce and Jongsma outline several ways to integrate ESTs into panic disorder treatment. With a rundown of approaches that includes review, demonstration, and commentary, you’ll learn how to compose a six-step treatment plan based on the interventions of cognitive restructuring, interoceptive exposure, and exteroceptive exposure, including self-talk, progressive muscle relaxation, and collaboratively developed fear heierarchies for deeper exploration.
