Discussion:
Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Therapeutic Interventions
Select a neurological, psychological, or neurodevelopmental disorder.
Compare and contrast three therapeutic interventions used to treat this disorder. Compare measures of effectiveness, such as validity, efficacy, symptom and behavior management, and recidivism. One therapy should be cognitive in nature, one should be pharmacological in nature, and the third should be an alternative therapeutic treatment.
- Identify common symptoms associated with your disorder and rates of symptom reduction or management as reported with the three treatments. Based on your research, what would be your approach to treating the condition? Identify which treatments you would use. Explain why.
- Analyze the neurophysiological underpinnings of diseases and disorders.
- Examine contemporary attitudes toward the three treatments you selected.
