Hormones and Clinical Anxiety An Imbalanced Neuromodulation of Attention

  • Chapter
Theoretical Foundations of Behavior Therapy

Part of the book series: Perspectives on Individual Differences ((PIDF))

Abstract

In this chapter, a model of neuroses will be developed that suggests that clinical anxiety is an outcome of an interaction between associative conditioning and individual differences in the functioning of the neuroendocrine system. The model takes as an assumption that there is a synergism between these two factors and that each alone is largely insufficient to produce clinical neuroses. More broadly, this interaction can be conveyed by the following equation:

$$ neuroses = conditioning \times neurohormones $$
