Addressing Perfectionism Across Anxiety Disorders in Children and Adolescents: Learning to Live by Values Instead of by Rules
 Featuring: Lynne Siqueland, PhD
Fortunately, CBT has much to offer perfectionistic youth. In this webinar, Dr. Lynne Siqueland (based on the Master Clinician workshop presented at Anxiety and Depression Conference 2017 with Dr. Deborah Ledley) will share strategies for working with this challenging population. Children and teens with very high standards and expectations for themselves often do not want or are fearful of challenging their thinking or changing their behavior. Furthermore, high standards tend to be positively reinforced by families, schools, and society. With this in mind, this webinar will discuss ways to build rapport and engage this challenging population in treatment.

Deaths from prescription drugs like oxycodone, hydrocodone, and methadone have more than quadrupled since 1999, according to the CDC. But pain doesn't seem to be the only culprit: About a third of Americans have chronic pain, but not all of them take prescription painkillers for it.

 Back in the 1980s, psychologist Marsha M. Linehan struggled with her borderline personality disorder patients. They are some of the hardest clients to gain behavioral control and improve their quality of life. Traditional cognitive and behavioral therapies failed repeatedly, so Linehan decided to combine aspects of both, and she weaved in an Eastern mindfulness component. With these new combined therapies, she created dialectical behavior therapy.

Their study of more than 4,000 kids in Los Angeles, Houston and Birmingham, Alabama, suggests a dangerous trajectory between not-uncommon childhood abuse and worrisome behavior in high school.
