Abstract:

Separation anxiety (SA) is often thought to occur exclusively during childhood; however, recent research has identified a putative diagnosis of Adult Separation Anxiety Disorder (ASAD), which mirrors separation anxiety often exhibited during juvenile years. Several studies have suggested that exposure to certain parental features during childhood may lead to the development of ASAD, including parental depression, parental anxiety, and parental overprotection. This study aimed to address these hypotheses by examining retrospective report of exposure to specific parental features among a populat

Abstract:

Separation anxiety disorder (SAD) is rarely considered in adults presenting with anxious symptomatology, but a growing body of evidence suggests that its symptoms are experienced by a significant number of adults. Early parent-child relationships are an especially important area of study for understanding SAD. Moreover, the attachment style that is formed through early parent-child interactions may serve as a mediator to later expression of symptoms of adult separation anxiety (ASA). Studying the early parent-child relationship and perceived parenting styles in conjunction with individual atta

Abstract:

Despite the fact that generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) is the most frequent anxiety disorder and the second most frequent psychiatric disorder in clinical settings (Wittchen, Kessler, Beesdo, Krause, Höfler, & Hoyer, 2002), it is significantly under-detected and under-treated (Wittchen & Jacobi, 2005). There is also a lack of empirical literature on the lived experience of GAD. Considered together, this information highlights the need for a greater understanding of GAD. This study sought to address the gap in the literature, and thus contribute to this need, by exploring the lived experienc

Abstract:

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and applied relaxation are the recommended talking treatments for generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) in adults. No specific recommendations are currently available for older adults with GAD due to paucity of evidence. In order to contribute to the GAD older adult evidence base (1) a meta-analysis of clinical trials has been performed and (2) a case series of providing group CBT has been conducted. The first part of the thesis reports a meta-analytic review of 14 randomized controlled trials of CBT for GAD in older adults. Results showed CBT to be an effectiv

Abstract:

Although theoretical arguments would suggest little comorbidity between Separation Anxiety Disorder (SAD) and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), epidemiological studies find otherwise. I examined whether ambiguous symptoms and negative halo effects contribute to this comorbidity. In Study 1, 72 mothers read scenarios of children displaying either SAD or ODD behaviors. The SAD scenarios included behaviors considered by judges to be pure exemplars of SAD, as well as behaviors considered to be ambiguous representations of the disorder. ODD scenarios also included both pure and ambiguous behavio

Abstract:

Wells’ (1995) metacognitive model proposes that Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is maintained by the positive and negative beliefs an individual holds about worry, which are exacerbated by maladaptive coping strategies such as attempted thought control. Although studies with adults support many of the predictions of the model, research with clinical samples is lacking. Recent research has supported the extension of this theory to childhood anxiety, however the results have been inconsistent. The aim of this thesis is therefore to investigate and compare the role of metacognitive beliefs and

Adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience elevated levels of anxiety and worry compared to neurotypical people. However, there is a dearth of extant research on effective interventions for comorbid anxiety and worry in this population. Mindfulness, which is often defined as paying attention to the present moment in a nonjudgmental manner, has been shown to be a propitious treatment for anxiety, worry, and other psychological ailments in neurotypical people. However, in a relatively new area of study, evidence has been growing which suggests mindfulness can also be effective in help

Abstract:

Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) is a condition characterised by intense fear of negative evaluation by others. Research suggests the disorder is relatively common, particularly during adolescence, which is the primary developmental period for onset for SAD (Merikangas & Avenevoli, 2002). When untreated, the disorder is unlikely to remit, often following a decades-long course in the majority of individuals who do not receive treatment (Keller, 2003). The disorder is highly comorbid with other psychiatric disorders (Beidel et al., 2007; Chartier et al., 2003), with evidence suggesting SAD predispo

Abstract:

Forty two participants with generalized anxiety disorder were treated with either Metacognitive therapy or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, in a randomized controlled study comparing the relative effect of the two treatments. A wait list condition comprised the control group. Statistical analysis proved MCT superior to CBT, and CBT proved superior to no treatment. Because this is a preliminary study it has some limitations, such as no follow-up data or treatment adherence control. Thus at the current stage the results is to be considered preliminary findings.

This revision of the 2005 British Association for Psychopharmacology guidelines for the evidence-based pharmacological treatment of anxiety disorders provides an update on key steps in diagnosis and clinical management, including recognition, acute treatment, longer-term treatment, combination treatment, and further approaches for patients who have not responded to first-line interventions. A consensus meeting involving international experts in anxiety disorders reviewed the main subject areas and considered the strength of supporting evidence and its clinical implications.

Abstract:

The purpose of the study was to examine the association between foster care children and the behaviors they exhibit particularly in attachment outcomes. The study was also an informative tool that addressed the impact of children with attachment issues currently in the foster care system. Examining the relationship between the two variables may be able to help parents and their children, by providing future resources necessary to both parties in case separation and loss occurs.

Abstract:

碩士<br>國立陽明大學<br>醫務管理研究所<br>106<br>Background Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a significant and common type of mental illness, which had a lifetime prevalence of 3.7%. Main interventions/treatments for GAD include psychotherapy, medications and self-help interventions. Regardless of the complexity of treatment decisions for GAD, there have been very few studies conducted on systematic comparisons of varying intervention works. Thus, the aim of this study is to perform a valid network meta-analysis (NMA) of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to synthesize direct and indirect evidence for

Abstract:

Introduction: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a disabling psychological disorder that affects about 7% of adults in the United States. PTSD and its symptoms have consistently been shown to have an inverse relationship with exercise participation. The strongest reported associations have been between high intensity exercise, and the hyperarousal and avoidance symptom clusters. Importantly, resistance training (i.e., weight lifting) is thought to have beneficial effects for several conditions that commonly co-occur with PTSD, such as anxiety, depression, and poor sleep quality. However,

Abstract:

Intimacy is a central component of romantic relationships with the development of a capacity for intimacy regarded as being one of the milestones of adulthood. Fear of intimacy has been defined as “the inhibited capacity of an individual, because of anxiety to exchange thoughts and feelings of personal significance with another individual who is highly valued” (Descutner & Thelen, 1991, p. 219). Although a number of studies have focused on fear of intimacy, there has been limited research on th The primary aim of this study was to investigate the influence of past parenting (perceived ma
