SUMMARY:Psychology Colloquium: Dr Rachel Menzies (School of Psychology\, University of Sydney)
DESCRIPTION:Dr Rachel MenziesSchool of Psychology\, University of Sydney\nTitle: Death anxiety: The worm at the core of mental health \nAbstract: Our awareness of mortality is a universal part of the human experience\, and fears of death have been recorded throughout our species’ history. More recently\, death anxiety has been proposed to be a transdiagnostic construct\, underpinning a range of mental illnesses. This colloquium will outline theoretical and empirical evidence suggesting that death anxiety may be central to numerous mental health conditions. A series of published studies will be presented\, demonstrating the causal role of death anxiety in driving clinically-relevant behaviour. It will be argued that current psychological treatments fail to sufficiently address death anxiety. Further\, specifically targeting fears of death in treatment may be necessary to produce long-term symptom improvement. Lastly\, evidence concerning the treatment efficacy for alleviating death anxiety will be discussed.
