 Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment of Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is based on the theory that the disorder stems from constant perceptions of the world as a dangerous place, resulting in a process of maladaptive and habitual interactions among cognitive, behavioral, and physiological response systems.
Cognitive therapy techniques include identification of automatic thoughts and core beliefs, logical analysis based on probability and evidence, development of multiple alternative perspectives, behavioral testing of predictions, and decatastrophizing (Beck and Emery, 1985).
Cognitive products from these interventions are then used in self-control desensitization to provide frequent practice in shifting to adaptive perspectives in response to incipient anxiety cues.

Cognitive therapy (also known as cognitive behavioral therapy) is based on the premise that people become or remain depressed because they are drawing distorted, negative conclusions about situations and people with whom they interact.

She goes on to suggest that loss of the analytic stance also implies that the therapist is spared the trouble associated with the 'oedipal exclusion dynamic', an omission that seriously weakens the therapeutic power of psychotherapy.
In the cognitive model, distortions in the patient's appraisal of the analyst/therapist (as well as other significant features of reality) would be considered to arise predominantly as a consequence of 'automatic' mental processes that may be quite different from the considered appraisals ('second thoughts') of the patient (Barber and DeRubeis, 1989; Sheppard and Teasdale, 2000).
