I will check in the first session how many of the registered participants show up. For every participant that does not show up, another student from the waiting list will be registered. In the first session, I will also provide you with all the information regarding the organization of the seminar.

Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Exposure therapy is a highly effective behavioral intervention to treat anxiety disorders. However, much of what is known about exposure therapy is based on experience rather than on empirical evidence. In this seminar, we will first aim at dissecting the psychological and neuroscientific underpinnings of exposure therapy. Subsequently, we will attempt to develop a theoretical framework for designing a research agenda that might allow for optimizing and even automatizing exposure therapy.
Specifically, we will address the following questions:
- What is exposure therapy and how is it currently used?
- What is the common core of all exposure therapy variants?
- What are the key parameters of successful exposure therapy?
- What are the neural underpinnings of how exposure therapy acts?
- Can we formulate exposure therapy as a dynamic feedback system to optimize and maybe even automatize exposure therapy?
