Description of an anxiety clinic in Sydney, Australia
Abstract
The development of an anxiety clinic in a socially underprivileged district of Sydney is described. The rational for the developments of anxiety clinics in general, and for their treatment process in particular, is presented. The Clinic for Anxiety and Traumatic Stress in Banksto^n, Sydney, Australia sees its most important function in efficient diagnosis and treatment of anxiety disorders. At a time of global cuts and savings in the mental health system it is vital for psychologists, as well as other mental health professionals, to think ethically as well as cost-efficiently, and therefore find ways to offer the most efficient treatment to the highest number of patients.
