Therapies for Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Home Chairman's letter About Prof. Borkovec Workshop Descriptions General Information Schedule Links Registration Dear Colleague, It is an honor and pleasure to invite you to the workshop to be presented by Professor Tom Borkovec. Professor Borkovec is one of the leading researchers and clinicians in the field of Cognitive-Behavior Therapy in general and CBT with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) in particular. He is a professor of psychology and psychiatry at Penn State University in Philadelphia, USA. Professor Borkovec has written hundreds of articles and chapters on CBT and GAD and delivered as many invited lectures and workshops at international symposia and conferences. He was and is on the editorial board of many peer-reviewed journals in clinical psychology and CBT. Professor Borkovec will share with us his vast knowledge of and experience with the treatment of GAD. He will also introduce us to a relatively new development in CBT with GAD: The use of integrated interpersonal and experiential techniques (IEP) with generalized anxiety disorder. I have no doubt that by attending the workshop we will all vastly extend our clinical knowledge, understanding and skills as therapists and clinicians. I want to use this introduction to also express our thanks to Professor Mario Mikulincer and the Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) in Herzliya for hosting this important workshop. Since the number of places for the workshop is limited, I urge you to confirm your participation as soon as possible. Looking forward to an exciting learning experience, Sincerely yours, Dr. Joop Meijers, Chair The Israeli Association for Behaviour and Cognitive Psychotherapies (ITA)
