The neurotic cascade involves five distinct though interrelated processes they labeled: (1) Hyperreactivity, (2) Differential Exposure, (3) Differential Appraisal, (4) Mood Spillover, and (5) The Sting of Familiar Problems. Each mechanism in the cascade serves to reinforce the other as each prompts a series of unfortunate yet somewhat predictable set of interlocking events.
