Summary
Given the pressures on us humans these days, there's no question that many of us are feeling increasingly anxious. But when does anxiousness become ANXIETY? This week, Dr. Keira Moore joins us to review a behavioral interpretation of anxiety, how what is typically a mentalistic distinction could be operationally defined, and what this could mean to improve treatment for populations with limited verbal behavior.
This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
