About this course
Exposure work in psychotherapy is an evidence-based behavioral approach for improving psychological suffering and increasing values-aligned behaviors. This lecture will discuss a number of different exposure techniques, how they are often employed and can be incorporated within many different theoretical orientations, as well as which disorders they might be best for. Dr. Barr will discuss a wide variety of exposure interventions and engage the learners in opportunities to try them during the presentation in informal ways. There are no known risks to attendees. Exposures applied with patients should be carried out with care for the intensity of the content they are being exposed to, their current mental health skillset, as well as their readiness/willingness for exposure work in general. Having these discussions with patients to provide informed consent and discuss how exposure works and what it might elicit for them can help mitigate risks. With that said, all clinical interventions should be carried out with thoughtfulness about applying exposure techniques and strategies without appropriate training and supervision.
