Keynote AddressSteven C. Hayes is a Nevada Foundation Professor of Psychology in theBehavior Analysis Program at the University of Nevada. An author of 46books and nearly 675 scientific articles, he is especially known for hiswork on "Acceptance and Commitment Therapy" or “ACT” which is oneof the most widely used and researched new methods of psychologicalintervention over the last 20 years. Dr. Hayes has received severalnational awards, such as the Lifetime Achievement Award from theAssociation for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapy. His popular book GetOut of Your Mind and Into Your Life for a time was the best-selling selfhelp book in the United States, and his new book A Liberated Mind hasbeen recently released to wide acclaim. His TEDx talks and blogs havebeen viewed or read by over three million people, and he is rankedamong the most cited psychologists in the world.ACT, Psychological Flexibility, and the Future of CBTKeynote Address May 13, 2022 4:00 - 5:30 pm PT Gather.town: North Conference RoomCognitive behavior therapy and evidence-based therapy more generally is moving from an era of“protocols for syndromes” to a process-based era in which the needs and strengths of the individualclient, their cultural background, the analytic and practical skills of the practitioner, and the upliftingrole of the relationship between them can become central in both science and practice. In this talk Iwill show how Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and its underlying psychological flexibilitymodel has become a kind of pilot project for this transition. ACT one of the best known and bestdeveloped process-based therapy models but the transition to a process-based approach haschanged ACT as well. Via a link between known processes of change and a multi-dimensional, multilevel evolutionary account, ACT and the psychological flexibility model has become part of a supersetof processes and methods that is leading to new measures, analytic methods, statistical proceduresand intervention kernels. CBT itself is in for a transformation ride over the next decade that willfundamentally alter what evidence-based therapy even means.14

Invited Talk (en français)Le Dr Michel Dugas est professeur titulaire de psychologie à l’Universitédu Québec en Outaouais. Depuis plus de 25 ans, il mène des étudesexpérimentales et cliniques sur l’étiologie et le traitement du troubled’anxiété généralisée (TAG) et l’intolérance à l’incertitude. Il a publiéplus de 100 articles empiriques, présenté plus de 300 conférencesscientifiques et offert plusieurs ateliers cliniques partout dans le monde.Le Dr Dugas a reçu la distinction de Fellow de la Société Canadienne dePsychologie et de l’Association Canadienne des Thérapies Cognitives etComportementales.Le traitement de l’anxiété généralisée : est-il nécessaire d’utiliser plusieurs interventions ?Invited Talk (en français) May 13, 2022 1:30 - 2:30 pm PT Gather.town: East Conference RoomLes données probantes indiquent que la thérapie cognitivo-comportementale (TCC) est le traitementpsychologique de choix pour les personnes atteintes du trouble d’anxiété généralisée (TAG). Lathérapie pour l’intolérance à l’incertitude est une forme de TCC ayant fait ses preuves pour le TAG; eneffet, cette thérapie a été éprouvée dans cinq essais cliniques randomisés (Dugas et al., 2010; FortinDelisle et al., 2021; Gosselin et al., 2006; Ladouceur et al., 2000; van der Heiden et al., 2012). Lesrésultats indiquent qu’elle mène à la rémission diagnostique chez 70 % des patients et que les progrèsthérapeutiques se maintiennent sur de longues périodes. Alors que ces résultats sont encourageants,il n’en demeure pas moins que 30 % des personnes traitées n’atteignent pas la rémissiondiagnostique suite au traitement, ce qui suggère que des améliorations sont possibles. De plus, lathérapie pour l’intolérance à l’incertitude est relativement complexe puisqu’elle comprend quatrestratégies d’intervention différentes : la réévaluation de l’utilité de s’inquiéter, l’expositioncomportementale à l’incertitude, l’entrainement à la résolution de problèmes et l’exposition enimagination. Étant donné que les analyses de médiation démontrent que la diminution del’intolérance à l’incertitude est le facteur principal qui explique le changement thérapeutique, nousavons développé une nouvelle thérapie qui cible exclusivement cette variable, à savoir, lesexpériences comportementales pour l’intolérance à l’incertitude. Ce nouveau traitement, qui amaintenant été éprouvé dans deux études (Dugas et al., 2022; Hebert et Dugas, 2019) présente deuxavantages importants : il cible exclusivement la variable principale impliquée dans le TAG(l’intolérance à l’incertitude) et il utilise une stratégie thérapeutique expérientielle bien établie (lesexpériences comportementales). Dans cette présentation de 60 minutes, le Dr Dugas fera un retoursur (1) les études appuyant le rôle de l’intolérance à l’incertitude dans le TAG, (2) les résultats desétudes de traitement impliquant les deux protocoles de TCC développés par son équipe, et (3) lespistes de recherche ultérieure.15

Invited TalkSuite à cette présentation, les participants connaitront :1. La conceptualisation de l’intolérance à l’incertitude et son rôle dans le TAG.2. Les données sur l’efficacité de deux protocoles de TCC pour l’intolérance à l’incertitude.3. Les avantages et les désavantages de chacun de ces protocoles de TCC.4. Les lacunes dans les données de recherche ainsi que les études ultérieures pouvantpotentiellement combler ces lacunes.16
