Psychological Perspective
No full textOver the past few decades, the progress of research into the etiology and treatment of anxiety disorders has been immense. Anxiety disorders are without doubt one of the most extensively studied groups of mental disorders, and systematic research has revealed important processes that contribute to their development and maintenance. This chapter focuses on the future directions, and highlights a number of problems and current developments. Researchers have started to systematically investigate transdiagnostic cognitive and behavioral processes that are involved in the maintenance of emotional disorders across diagnostic categories. Decades of treatment research have shown that anxiety disorders can be treated effectively, with high effect sizes and stable long-term effects. Although CBT is currently the most effective psychological treatment for anxiety disorders, there is considerable room for improvement. Therefore, there is a clear need to figure out how these treatments work and what accounts for the variability in outcomes
General Introduction
No full textThis introductory chapter of this two-volume handbook commences with an overview of the book, which is aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge on the phenomenology, classification, epidemiology, etiology, and clinical management of anxiety disorders. Whereas Volume 1 focuses on theory and research, Volume 2 covers assessment and treatment issues. For the most part, the different chapters of this handbook focus on the state of the art of theory, research, and treatment. The chapter provides a brief overview, providing basic information regarding the definition, prevalence, etiology, and treatment of anxiety and related disorders. Throughout the chapter, references to different chapters of this handbook are made for more detailed information. Description of anxiety disorders, such as specific phobias, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder and agoraphobia, and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is presented. Anxiety-related disorders include obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and acute stress disorder

A brief measure of guilt and shame: validation of the Guilt and Shame Questionnaire (GSQ-8)
No full textBackground: Guilt and shame regulate basic human processes such as social cognition and relations. Both emotions are also involved in the aetiology and maintenance of trauma-related mental disorders such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, a concise scale that adequately captures these constructs is currently lacking, impeding research efforts to understand them more thoroughly. Objective: To this end, we developed the eight-item Guilt and Shame Questionnaire (GSQ-8) in English, German, and Dutch. Method: We examined the reliability and validity of the GSQ-8 in a clinical sample of adults seeking treatment for childhood-trauma-related posttraumatic stress disorder (n = 209), a sample of adults who had suffered at least one traumatic life event reporting different levels of PTSD symptoms (n = 556), and a non-clinical sample of adults (n = 156). Results: Theory-driven confirmatory factor analyses confirmed two correlated latent factors guilt and shame with four items for each factor. Across all samples, two-factor models yielded better model fit than one-factor solutions. Measurement invariance across the three samples, gender, and Dutch and German language was mostly established. Guilt and shame composite scores were associated with PTSD symptoms, depressive symptoms, life satisfaction, mental health-related quality of life, and self-blame, thus supporting scale validity. Importantly, both subscales predicted PTSD symptoms, depression, life satisfaction, and mental health-related quality of life over and above cognitions of self-blame. Conclusions: The GSQ-8 is a parsimonious, reliable, and valid tool to assess guilt and shame in clinical, sub-clinical, and non-clinical populations, allowing applications across a broad range of research questions
