Resumen
BAPTISTA, Américo; CARVALHO, Marina y LORY, Fátima. Fear, anxiety, and its disorders. Psicologia [online]. 2005, vol.19, n.1-2, pp.267-277. ISSN 0874-2049.
In this paper we present a model for the understanding of fear and anxiety as well as the treatment of its disorders, in agreement with the methods used in the Centro de Aconselhamento para Estudantes da Universidade Lusófona. According to an evolutionary and developmental perspective, fear is viewed as an adaptation. As such, it varies and can show different maladjustments, both in high and low anxiety, that are normally designated as hypo and hyper-anxious disorders. We present possibilities of cognitive-behavioural psychological treatment of hyper-anxious disorders, as well as discuss its effects.
