Online Training in ACT

Dr. Twohig developed a 12 credit on demand continuing education course on ACT for anxiety disorder and OCD. It covers theory, diagnosis, assessment, and treatment with an emphasis on exposure therapy. A highlight of the course are the six full therapy sessions with individuals with OCD, panic, social and specific phobia, GAD, and clinical perfectionism.
