Beta Implementation of Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders (UP)
Partnership/Type: Air Force
Status: Completed Project
The Clearinghouse provided a program evaluation of the Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders (UP; Barlow et al., 2011) in military service members and their family members. The UP is a cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) that can be applied to a range of different disorders and problems including; panic attacks, worry, social anxiety, obsessive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, depressed mood, PTSD, and impulsive behaviors. The aim of this beta test/evaluation was to assess the effectiveness of the UP program as offered within the Air Force mental health clinic setting. Given the small N of this evaluation, the focus was on feasibility and overall program effectiveness.
