Nature and treatment of anxiety-related disorders such as PTSD, panic, agoraphobia, OCD, health anxiety, generalized anxiety, and phobias. My treatment-related research primarily focuses on treatment development and testing of new evidence-based treatments within the broader theoretical framework of behavioral and cognitive therapies and acceptance-based psychotherapies. Currently, a major focus of my treatment research is testing new treatment strategies based on recent discoveries in basic cognitive and neuroscience. A second major thrust of my research focuses on identifying modifiable risk factors implicated in the development of anxiety-related pathology. Most of this work has focused on identifying vulnerability factors for PTSD among soldiers deployed to a war-zone. More information about my research is available from our website: www.UTAnxiety.com
