实验精神病理学的研究表明,威胁事件的可预测性和可控性在焦虑症的发展、维持和修正中起中介作用。我们建议,对可预测性和可控性进行更彻底的分析需要对危险和安全以及那些提供这种信号功能的事件进行解释。尽管大多数研究关注的是预测危险的信号的识别,但相对较少的关注是预测安全的信号的识别。目前的手稿概述了危险和安全信号的功能分析,因为它们与各种焦虑症有关。对药物治疗的考虑表明,危险和安全信号的改变可能只是干预的附带特征。认知行为干预的潜在优势,最大限度地发挥信号功能的治疗特异性自我控制的潜在优势进行了讨论。(C)2006爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Research in experimental psychopathology indicates that predictability and controllability of threatening events mediate the development, maintenance, and modification of anxiety disorders. We propose that a more thorough analysis of predictability and controllability requires the explication of danger and safety, and those events that provide such signal functions. Although most research is concerned with the identification of signals that predict danger, relatively little attention has been given to the identification of signals that predict safety. The current manuscript outlines the functional analysis of both danger and safety signals as they relate to the various disorders of anxiety. Consideration of pharmacological treatments suggests that the modification of danger and safety signals may function only as incidental features of the intervention. The potential advantages of cognitive-behavioral interventions that maximize treatment-specific self-control of signal functions are discussed. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
