Anxiety Disorders and Evidence-Based Practice: The Role of Broadband Self-Report Measures of Personality in Diagnosis, Case Conceptualization, and Treatment Planning

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Handbook of Assessing Variants and Complications in Anxiety Disorders

Abstract

Objective personality assessment is a major approach to evaluation for treatment planning. Several empirically sound instruments that have considerable utility in the assessment and treatment of anxiety disorders are described. The use of these instruments to assist with differential diagnosis, identifying comorbid conditions, detecting and disentangling maintaining factors, and measuring pertinent transdiagnostic variables is discussed. Special focus is given to the use of personality measures in the development of individualized, evidence-based treatment plans for specific anxiety disorders.

Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting a particular way.... You become just by performing just actions, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave actions.

—Aristotle (384–322 BC)

Rather than argue about the existence of “consistency,” it would be more constructive to analyze and study the cognitive and social learning conditions that seem to foster – and to undermine – its occurrence.

—Walter Mischel (1973, p. 259)

I never thought I’d say this, but…what [Obama] needs in his personality is a little George Bush.

—Bill Maher (2009)

Notes

  1. 1.

    For the sake of illustration and protecting confidentiality, the case presented in this chapter is a conglomeration of actual patients treated by the author.

  2. 2.

    Broadly conceptualized as poor quality of social support (Newman et al., 2006), expressed emotion is a measure of the degree to which families are critical of, hostile toward, and emotionally over-involved with those experiencing psychopathology (Leff & Vaughn, 1985).
