He completed his clinical psychology internship at the Charleston Consortium Psychology Internship Program. Dr. Gros’s clinical and research experiences have focused on the diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of the emotional disorders and related conditions, with particular attention to the development of transdiagnostic practices. The primary example of this work is Dr. Gros’s development of Transdiagnostic Behavior Therapy (TBT). Dr. Gros has over 120 published manuscripts and chapters and has received federal funding from the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense in support of his work on psychotherapy outcomes in Veterans.

Transdiagnostic psychotherapies involve identifying and treating common, underlying symptoms across overlapping psychiatric disorders without tailoring the protocol to specific diagnoses. This course will provide a framework for using transdiagnostic treatment practices with patients to depressive, anxiety, and trauma and stress-related disorders. In particular, Transdiagnostic Behavior Therapy (TBT) will be reviewed in detail with emphasis on applying the protocol to address trauma and its comorbidities. Research and literature on TBT will be reviewed to help clinicians with decision-making treatment selection and application.

Course Objectives

At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:

  1. Describe the limitations of the disorder-specific approach to diagnosis and treatment of the emotional disorders and how taking a transdiagnostic approach may be successful in addressing said limitations.
  2. Describe the state of the literature of Transdiagnostic Behavior Therapy in its treatment of depressive, anxiety, and trauma and stress-related disorders as well as its comparison to established disorder-specific therapies.
  3. Discuss how to apply the basics of Transdiagnostic Behavior Therapy to their patients with depressive, anxiety, and trauma and stress-related disorders.
