Webinar Description

Participants will discuss and apply behavioral principles from Parent Management Training (PMT) and Parent-Child Interaction Training (PCIT) to Exposure and Response Prevention. Then, participants will discuss a case example involving behavioral treatment for Selective Mutism, Separation Anxiety Disorder, and Oppositional Defiant Disorder. This webinar will be best suited for professionals who have ample experience in exposure but perhaps less experience in the treatment of behavioral problems. The content will be particularly useful for professionals who work with children, adolescents, and their parents.
