In 2014, Craske, Treanor et. al. published “Maximizing exposure therapy: An inhibitory learning approach”¹, a widely-cited paper. In May of 2022, the same research group published a major paper updating their model: “Optimizing exposure therapy with an inhibitory retrieval approach and the OptEx Nexus.”²

In this 2-hour webinar, Dr. Treanor presents the updated model for optimizing exposure therapy in the context of associative learning. In the updated model, the term “inhibitory learning” is replaced with “inhibitory retrieval.”

The webinar includes:

empirical evidence supporting the model
limitations of the current evidence
current theories regarding associative change
the importance of identifying the unconditional stimulus
the importance of identifying conditional stimuli and "occasion setters"
the importance of expectancy violation
associative learning theories for feared outcomes that occur far in the future
the impact of safety signals on extinction learning
several examples of exposures for disorders such as panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, OCD, and PTSD.

Learning Objectives:

Attendees will be able to identify the principles of associative learning models of exposure therapy (e.g., expectancy violation).
Attendees will be able to discuss the importance of correctly identifying the unconditional stimulus and principal conditional stimulus.
Attendees will demonstrate a foundational knowledge of application of associative learning models to anxiety disorders, PTSD, and OCD.

Presenter(s) Biography

Michael Treanor, PhD

Michael Treanor, PhD is an Assistant Project Scientist with the UCLA Anxiety and Depression Research Center and staff psychologist with the UCLA Child OCD, Anxiety, and Tic Disorders Program.

Dr. Treanor completed his doctorate at the University of Massachusetts, Boston, his APA-approved internship at the National Center for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Behavioral Science Division, and a NIMH T32 postdoctoral fellowship at UCLA.

His research focuses on elucidating associative learning processes (e.g., extinction learning) as principal mechanisms of exposure therapy. In addition to his research and direct patient care, he actively supervises and trains others in exposure therapy and CBT for anxiety disorders, OCD, and PTSD.

Dr. Treanor is also the owner of the California Center for Anxiety and Traumatic Stress, a group practice focused on providing high-quality exposure therapy and CBT for anxiety, OCD, and PTSD, as well as consultation to mental health providers focused on associative learning models of exposure therapy.
