What Past Attendees Say:
“I recommend the PTI without any reservations. It is a rare treat to have the world’s expert clinicians in one room teaching all they know to an intimate group of highly skilled colleagues. I wish cognitive-behavioral training of this intensity was available for some of the other syndromes I treat. ”
David Kosins, PhD
Clinical Psychologist, Seattle, WA
“I learned so much at the training... It was comprehensive and well presented. I will encourage everyone in my 'neck of the woods' to attend the training - it was valuable to me, and I use the information on a regular basis.”
Mary Travis, PhD
Travis Psycho-Educational Services, Winter Park, FL
“I was absolutely floored by the quality of the PTI. It is so rare to have the opportunity to learn from so many experts in such an intimate training setting. Having the chance to hear those who helped develop the current state-of-the-art teach, model, and demonstrate the treatments was incredible.”

Director, Anxiety & Stress Reduction Center, Seattle, WA
