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