Summary: 

In this workshop, the different types of anxiety that adults and children experience will be explored. The following DSM criteria will be explored: separation anxiety disorder, social phobia, and generalized anxiety disorder. The statistical prevalence and treatment methods will also be identified and discussed for each criterion. Case examples will be taken from Hollywood films and the film “Inside Out” will be discussed as it relates to emotional stability. In depth large and small group discussions will occur as we explore the psychological significances in the film “Inside Out” and apply those discussions to the regulations of emotions and the diagnosis of anxiety disorders.

Objectives:

  • Identify and discuss the DSM criterion and statistics for anxiety disorders (separation anxiety disorder, social phobia, and generalized anxiety disorder in children and adults
  • Distinguish between developmentally “normal” anxiety and pathological anxiety
  • Outline the various treatment methods recommended for anxiety disorders
  • Identify and discuss the film “Inside Out” and other Hollywood films and apply the various DSM criterions of anxiety disorders to the characters in the film as case examples
