Unified Protocol
The Unified Protocol
The Unified Protocol (UP) is a cutting-edge cognitive-behavioral (CBT) therapy that can be used to treat many common mental health concerns like anxiety, depression, and other emotional disorders. It is a transdiagnostic treatment, which means it is meant to help anyone struggling to manage emotions, regardless of their diagnoses. The Unified Protocol is an active treatment that teaches patients skills and strategies to manage strong emotions (neuroticism) when they are interfering in daily life.
The UP patient workbook and therapist guide are published as part of Oxford University Press’ Treatments that Work series, which only publishes evidence-based interventions. The patient workbook is designed to function as a stand-alone self-help book, but is most effective when used with therapist treatment. The therapist guide is ideal for clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and other mental health professionals.
