This year ADAA's annual clinical symposium will feature a panel of expert clinicians demonstrating key interventions with an adult client struggling with Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), rumination, and suicidal ideation.

Presidential Invited Session: "If Elephants Could Talk: Racial Literacy for Healing Racial Stress in Relationships" — Featuring Dr. Howard C. Stevenson, PhD

At Foundations, we follow patients using research-based interviews for a full year after treatment. This allows us to determine not only the immediate impact of treatment, but also the sustainability of results. In 2017, on average, 90% of all patients surveyed at discharge from an FRN residential facility would recommend the treatment center they attended to others.

In Memoriam
John R. Walker PhD, longtime ADAA member and contributor, died of pancreatic cancer on Friday Dec. 14, 2018. Dr. Walker, a resident of Winnipeg, Manitoba and former Director of the Anxiety Disorders Clinic at St. Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg, was a pioneer in the development and dissemination of self-help and low-cost approaches to treating — and preventing — anxiety disorders and their complications in adults and children.
"I worked closely with John for four years while at St. Boniface Hospital and the University Manitoba in the early 1990’s, where I had the privilege of seeing the consummate clinician-researcher in action. John taught me so much not only about cognitive-behavioral approaches to treatment, but about the importance of the therapeutic relationship in all treatment endeavors. John was generous to a fault, with his time, with this energy, and with his enthusiasm. And he was at the same time a sterling example of life balance, spending time with his family, riding his bike to work (even in the snow), and in recent years, traveling with his wife Joannie. John contributed extraordinarily to ADAA throughout his professional career, giving talks at the annual meeting, mentoring young investigators who attended, and donating the proceeds of our book, "Triumph Over Shyness" to ADAA. He will be missed by many friends, professional colleagues, patients and, of course, his family."
- -Murray B. Stein, MD, MPH
"I started working with John as a junior graduate student, when he offered to assist me in recruiting individuals with panic disorder for my thesis research in the mid-1980s. He later became one part of the two-part dream-team of postdoctoral supervisors, the other part being Murray Stein, who I had the good fortune of working with and learning from. Together. John and Murray helped shape my future as a clinician and researcher. John was a collaborator one some of my earliest work and we continued to publish together through to last year. We frequently met at ADAA over the past three decades, often as part of the same session, and always to discuss the comings-and-goings of anxiety-related research happening in Winnipeg. As I know is the case for many many many others, I benefited immensely and immeasurably from my time with John. He was a truly unique person, combing genuine kindness, warmth, and gentleness with natural intelligence and curiosity that fueled his zest for knowledge, desire to help others, and passion for life. I am fortunate to have known him as a mentor and a friend and I will miss his warm smile on my visits to Winnipeg and at future ADAA meetings.”
--Gordon Asmundson, PhD
Ken Goodman, LCSW
"Prior to joining ADAA I wrote and produced several self-help audio programs including The Anxiety Solution Series, a 12-hour audio course, Stress Free, a compilation of six guided meditations, and The Personal Growth Series, a collection of seven hypnosis sessions. Although my practice in Los Angeles was focused on treating anxiety disorders and OCD, I did not know other therapists who shared the same specialty. Attending my first ADAA conference in 2013 changed that. The presentations from other experts filled the gaps in my knowledge and I met Kimberly Morrow, another LCSW. I joined her Membership Committee and we gave a presentation together two years later at the conference in Miami. Since then I have given talks at three other conferences, ran the Dine Around program for new conference attendees, and met many wonderful people who I now consider friends. The articles I wrote and the webinar I did for the ADAA website have not only reached thousands of people, they have generated several patients for my private practice. I recently completed writing Break Free from Anxiety and I am working on my next book. As member of ADAA's Public Education Committee, I plan on hosting upcoming webinars and writing more blogs for the ADAA website."

You can never fully know what people do behind closed doors, since our time at home is when we get to fully relax and be our truest selves — away from the prying eyes of the public. But for people with high-functioning anxiety, this alone time is often rife with ways of dealing with stress. The thing is, not everyone knows these habits are a side effect of anxiety.

"It's like exercise: You don't want to do it, you have to make yourself do it, and you feel better after you do."
