Commentary: Predicting outcomes of treatment for anxiety disorders - using data from fear learning paradigms. A commentary on Waters and Pine (2016).

摘要: Despite the apparent effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) in treatment anxiety disorders, more can be done to predict individual variability CBT. One potentially useful predictor involves differences fear inhibition and extinction as similar learning processes are thought involved Waters Pine (this issue) present an investigation relationship between pretreatment indices responsiveness CBT among children with disorders. We discuss these findings place them within context supporting evidence from neurobiological genetic research. Various novel ways which different elements quantified then outlined, potential utility this approach for clinicians researchers particularly developmental samples is discussed.
