Dept. of Psychology Colloquium Series - Dr. Stefan Hofmann

CBT is one of the great success stories of psychiatry. However, treatment efficacy has not been improving over the last few decades. Dr. Stefan Hofman will discuss three strategies to improve CBT approaches, primarily focused on mood and anxiety disorders. First, insights from translational research and neuroscience can augment existing strategies, even on the molecular level, Second, theory-informed novel therapeutic strategies can enhance treatment success. Third, and perhaps most importantly, we need to revisit and improve some of our basic models and paradigms that serve as the basis for CBT. This will require a radical departure from the latent disease model of the current psychiatric nosology of the DSM / ICD and the absurd proliferation of the protocols-for-syndrome approach.
