Contrast the psychodynamic, humanistic, existential, behavioral, and cognitive views of anxiety and anxiety disorders
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will include that psychodynamic view emphasizes that intense anxiety can be caused by forbidden id impulses with the person using elaborate defense mechanisms and misguided, inflexible behavior to prevent a loss of control. Carl Rogers and the humanists saw emotional disorders as the end product of a faulty self-image. According to the humanists, conversion reaction, anxiety attacks, or similar symptoms result from threats to one's self-image with these symptoms, in turn, becoming new threats that provoke further distortions with a vicious cycle of maladjustment and anxiety feeding on itself. The existentialist sees the anxiety being caused by a loss of meaning in one's life with the person backing away from life-enhancing choices. The behaviorists emphasize that phobias are classically conditioned; anxiety attacks may reflect conditioned emotional responses that generalize to new situations; and various self-defeating behavior, such as compulsions or agoraphobia, are maintained through avoidance learning (anxiety reduction hypothesis), while cognitive psychologists believe that distorted thinking that magnifies threats and failures leads to distress.
