The first title to be published in the "BRAT Series on Clinical
Psychology", this book presents a critical analysis of the theories
and empirical evidence to date regarding the origins of phobias and
anxiety disorders, and the reasons why more women than men suffer
from them. The book moves from a discussion of non-specific
temperament to specific risk factors for each anxiety disorder,
assuming a hierarchical aetiological model throughout. At each
level of analysis, the issue of gender differences is addressed.
For example, broad temperamental factors such as traits of negative
affectivity and poor emotional regulation are reviewed in terms of
their relevance to the group of disorders with which anxiety
disorders tend to cluster, such as depression and substance abuse.
Biological contributions are covered, along with early life
experiences including parenting styles and expectations, and early
stressors. The components of anxiety - hypervigilance, threat-laden
belief systems and avoidant style - are presented as being common
across the anxiety disorders and self-perpetuating. Types of
ongoing life experiences that influence the development of one type
of anxiety disorder over another are reviewed. Each anxiety
disorder is then addressed in detail after considering general
principles of fear acquisition and persistence.
