Why do people experience uncontrollable worry – and what can we do about it?
This is a hybrid event.
ABSTRACT
In this talk Dr Meeten will discuss experimental approaches to exploring the mechanisms that underpin pathological worry. She will consider how improving our understanding of these mechanisms can provide novel targets for intervention.
