Subject: Dr. Lynn Alden - Hebb lecture series
Importance: High


This is a reminder that our next Hebb Lecture will take place on Friday March 11th at 3:30pm in the McIntyre Medical Building, room 504.

The speaker will be Lynn Alden (University of British Columbia), a prominent researcher in the area of cognitive and interpersonal processes in anxiety disorders, particularly Social Anxiety Disorder and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. She is especially interested in integrating interpersonal and cognitive treatments for anxiety.

Her main talk is titled "The Danger of Playing it Safe: An Interpersonal Perspective of Safety Behaviours".

Abstract: There is growing interest in the role of interpersonal factors in the development and maintenance of the anxiety disorders. Extant research on this topic tends to be descriptive rather than theory-driven. This seminar will present a series of studies on safety behaviours and Social Anxiety Disorder that illustrate how interpersonal theories might be used to broaden our understanding of the interplay between interpersonal and cognitive-behavioural processes and potentially enrich existing treatment strategies for these conditions.

There will also be an informal morning seminar (at 10:00-12:00 in room N7/14) titled "An Integrated Interpersonal-CBT Protocol for the Treatment of Social Anxiety" in which Dr. Alden will discuss her experiences with using an integrative therapy that she has developed for Social Anxiety.
