This stimulating resource presents the Looming Vulnerability Model,
a nuanced take on the cognitive-behavioral conceptualization of
anxiety, worry, and other responses to real or imagined threat. The
core feature of the model-the perception of growing, rapidly
approaching threat-is traced to humans' evolutionary past, and this
dysfunctional perception is described as it affects cognitive
processing, executive functioning, emotions, physiology, and
behavior. The LVM framework allows for more subtle understanding of
mechanisms of and risk factors for the range of anxiety disorders
as well as for more elusive subclinical forms of anxiety, worry,
and fear. In addition, the authors ably demonstrate how the LVM can
inform and refine cognitive-behavioral and other approaches to
conceptualization, assessment, and treatment of these often
disabling conditions. This important volume: * Introduces the
Looming Vulnerability Model in its evolutionary, developmental,
cognitive, and ecological contexts. * Unites diverse theoretical
strands regarding anxiety, fear, and worry including work on
wildlife behavior, experimental cognition and perception,
neuroimaging, and emotion. * Defines the looming cognitive style as
a core aspect of vulnerability. * Describes the measurement of the
looming cognitive style, Looming Maladaptive Style Questionnaire,
and measures of looming vulnerability for specific disorders. *
Details diverse clinical applications of the LVM across the anxiety
disorders. Spotlighting phenomena particularly relevant to current
times, Looming Vulnerability, brings a wealth of important new
ideas to researchers studying anxiety disorders and practitioners
seeking more avenues for treating anxiety in their patients.
