“…However, given the literature that has consistently demonstrated that change in cognitions changes behaviors, and changes in behaviors results in cognition change (e.g., Hofmann, 2008; Newman, Hofmann, Trabert, Roth, & Taylor, 1994), it is not entirely surprising that a cognitively-based treatment would result in decreases in AS. Individuals high in AS have a tendency to assign catastrophic meaning to physiological symptoms, leading to an increased focus on them, which may in turn increase the experience of these symptoms.…”

Anxiety sensitivity (AS) has been conceptualized as trait-like vulnerability and maintenance factor for PTSD. Although recent literature has demonstrated its malleability during treatment, few have examined its influence on and effect from PTSD treatment. Using multilevel regression analyses we examined: a) changes in AS during treatment, and b) whether pre-treatment AS predicted PTSD treatment response, in sample of female victims of interpersonal trauma receiving one of three treatments (Cognitive Processing Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy-Cognitive, and Written Accounts). Participants exhibited reductions in total ASI scores from pre- to post-treatment. Growth curve modeling revealed slightly different trajectories of PTSD symptoms as a function of pre-treatment AS, and overall decreases in PTSD symptoms during treatment were not associated with pretreatment AS. Pretreatment AS dimensions impacted PTSD total scores and symptoms clusters differentially. Clinical and theoretical implications for these results are discussed.

“…Exposure has demonstrated efficacy for many disorders, including panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (Bouchard et al, 1996; Foa et al, 1999; Marks, Lovell, Noshirvani, Livanou, & Thrasher, 1998; Mavissakalian & Michelson, 1986), obsessive–compulsive disorder (Foa, Steketee, & Grayson, 1985; McKay, 2009), social phobia (Mersch, 1995; Newman, Hofmann, Trabert, Roth, & Taylor, 1994), and specific phobias (Öst, Alm, Brandberg, & Breitholtz, 2001; Öst, Salkovskis, & Hëllstrom, 1991). If one or more core fears could be identified in GAD, then the powerful exposure methods so effective with other anxiety disorders could be applied.…”

An important emphasis of the literature on generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) has been to achieve a greater understanding of the function of emotion (e.g., avoidance, dysregulation) in the etiology and maintenance of this disorder. The purpose of the following paper is to propose a new way of conceptualizing emotional sequelae in GAD by detailing the Contrast Avoidance Model of Worry. In presenting this model, we review theory and data that led to our current position, which is that individuals with GAD are more sensitive to feeling emotionally vulnerable to unexpected negative events, and that worry (the key pathological feature of GAD) is employed to prolong and maintain a negative emotional state thereby avoiding an unexpected negative emotional shift, or contrast experience. We also discuss implications for treatment given the presence of a new target for emotional exposure techniques. Finally, we establish the Contrast Avoidance Model within the framework of extant theories and models of pathogenic processes of GAD.

“…We believe that such behavioral approaches also have relevance for the understanding and treatment of SAD. Furthermore, significant improvement in cognitive symptoms of SAD has been found with purely behavioral treatment protocols (Newman, Hofmann, Trabert, Roth, & Taylor, 1994). Furthermore, significant improvement in cognitive symptoms of SAD has been found with purely behavioral treatment protocols (Newman, Hofmann, Trabert, Roth, & Taylor, 1994).…”
