Description: The Unified Protocol (UP) is an evidence-based treatment developed by Dr. David Barlow (Barlow et al., 2004) that cuts across diagnostic boundaries to focus on helping patients learn to experience and manage strong emotions in ways that are consistent with their long-term goals. This transdiagnostic treatment harnesses evidence-based principles of change to help patients simultaneously target the symptoms of multiple disorders and improve their quality of life. The UP is the most widely used transdiagnostic treatment with substantial empirical support for its effectiveness.

This introductory workshop will briefly discuss the rationale for a transdiagnostic approach to treatment and review evidence from over 70 clinical trials demonstrating the effectiveness of the UP. Next, all eight UP treatment modules will be introduced, including demonstrations of how to apply the content and discussion of similarities and differences between the UP and traditional CBT. There will be demonstrations of core intervention components and attendees will be encouraged to participate as part of these illustrations.
