Document Summary
Anxiety: in what way are schemas pertinent to anxiety disorders. Easiest way to think about it is in terms of classically conditioned responses and in terms of the issue of the neurotic paradox. Neurotic paradox: classically conditioned aversive response come to associate some previous neutral cue with aversive responses; neurotic paradox is that because you have this aversive response, you don"t have the opportunity to unlearn the aversive response. Matthews and macleod: not schemas about the self; schemas concern the environment and the phobic situations in which these stimuli are likely to b encountered. Schemas are highly organized knowledge structures that involve stimulus domain that you are afraid of. Schemas enable researchers to get at idea of hyper vigilance to threat cues: panic disorder. Catastraphizing: about how awful it would be, ptsd idea is that you"re exposed to some super emotional event; obviously frightening at the time.
