Edna Foa, Ph.D.

Chris sits down with Dr. Edna Foa, a psychological scientist who needs no real introduction. To those who are even somewhat familiar with the literature relative to the treatment of OCD, the anxiety disorders, and posttraumatic stress disorder, Dr. Foa is internationally recognizable as one of the great contributors to evidence-based psychotherapy. She is among those who will go down in psychological history as one of the greats.  Two schools of thought are apparent among OCD- and anxiety disorders-treatment specialists. Nowhere are these differences more visible than at the issue of "the disconfirmation of beliefs" vs. the acceptance of uncertainty. Listeners to the podcast will hear subtle references to these schools of thought.  Feel free to reach out with any questions you might have to [email protected].
