Abstract

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a widespread and debilitating disorder. In this review, we present updated research on worry, along with the emotional, information processing, interpersonal, and biological factors underlying this disorder, through the lens of a comprehensive model of GAD: the Contrast Avoidance Model. This model sheds light on the developmental and maintaining factors of this disorder, and provides new insights for treatment. We also review research on the efficacy of extant treatments of GAD, along with presenting new directions for future research.
