Anxiety and Depression
Treatment: Integrating Neuroscience Discoveries:
Glenn
Veenstra, Ph.D.
Because anxiety disorders and
depression are the most prevalent mental health
diagnoses, they have long been a focus in MFT. In the
last decade the rapidly developing field of affective
neuroscience has been providing a clearer understanding
of what is happening in the brain with these disorders.
This Institute will integrate these neuroscience
discoveries with traditional approaches like
cognitive-behavioral and interpersonal therapy.
