Unified Protocol for the Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders: Patient Workbook
The Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders is part of the Treatments That Work series patient workbooks. It is a radical departure from disorder-specific treatments of various emotional disorders, and is designed to be applicable to all anxiety and unipolar mood disorders, as well as other disorders with strong emotional components, such as many somatic symptom disorders and dissociative disorders.
Unified Protocol for the Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders: Therapist Guide
The Unified Protocol (UP) capitalizes on the contributions made by cognitive-behavioral theorists by distilling and incorporating the common principles of CBT present in all evidenced based protocols for specific emotional disorders, as well as drawing on the field of emotion science for insights into deficits in emotion regulation. The UP contains seven modules and focuses on four core strategies: becoming mindfully aware of emotional experience; reappraising rigid emotion-laden attributions; identifying and preventing behavioral and emotional avoidance; and facilatating exposure to both interoceptive and situational cues associated with emotional experiences. Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders will be an essential resource for all therapists and psychiatrists who implement CBT strategies, as well as any clinician treating anxiety and depressive disorders.
Applications of the Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders (ABCT Clinical Practice Series)
Applications of the Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders provides clinicians with a "how to" guide for using the UP to treat a broad range of commonly encountered psychological disorders in adults. Each chapter covers a specific anxiety, depressive, or related "emotional" disorder, and important transdiagnostic processes are highlighted and discussed in relation to treatment. Case studies are employed throughout to illustrate the real-world application of this unique cognitive behavioral protocol and to instruct clinicians in the nuts and bolts of assessment, case formulation, and treatment in accordance with a transdiagnostic perspective.

This instructional video will illustrate the application of core treatment modules of the Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders (UP) to a range of emotional disorders, including panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, generalized anxiety and dissociative disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, and social phobia. Through recreations of real therapy sessions, you will see how the core skills of the UP are brought together and applied through situational and interoceptive emotion exposures. In addition, Dr. Barlow demonstrates how to orient patients to the UP at the start of treatment. With comments from Dr. Barlow throughout, this video was created to serve as an aid to therapists interested in using the UP in their own clinical work.

Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Children and Adolescents: Therapist Guide
The Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders in Children and Adolescents is part of the Treatments that Work series Therapist Guides. This Therapist Guide contains two full courses of therapy, including a modular, individual therapy for adolescents and a more structured, group therapy for children that includes a full parent curriculum. The child and adolescent Unified Protocols use the general language of strong or intense emotions to introduce effective strategies for promoting change across a range of emotional disorders, including anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorders and others. Specifically, the overarching goal of the child and adolescent Unified Protocols is to reduce intense negative emotion states by extinguishing the distress and anxiety these emotions produce through emotion education, awareness techniques, cognitive strategies to improve flexibility, and an array of exposure and activation techniques. Included in the adolescent-focused portion of the Therapist Guide are parent-directed handouts that provide an overview of techniques learned by adolescents in therapy. Child and adolescent workbooks, which can be purchased separately, contain additional youth-oriented information, worksheets, illustrative figures, and forms to accompany material presented in the Therapist Guide.

En esta segunda edición se han separado los dos manuales que en la primera edición se publicaron unidos: Manual del terapeuta y Manual del paciente. De esta manera, el paciente no ve contaminada su labor con explicaciones teóricas que pueden entorpecer la evolución de su tratamiento. Ambos manuales forman un bloque compacto y armónico. A través de ejercicios de reflexión, tareas para casa y autorregistros, el MANUAL DEL PACIENTE plantea un itinerario metódico a través de ocho módulos que guían al paciente hacia el objetivo de construir progresivamente una relación sana con sus emociones. Por su parte, el MANUAL DEL TERAPEUTA ofrece un completo conjunto de recursos a los profesionales de la salud mental ligados a cada una de las etapas planteadas al paciente del protocolo unificado.
