Abstract

In the present case study, a variety of cognitive behavioral therapies was used with a female outpatient with generalized anxiety disorder. The counseling was provided in 52 sessions. In the first stage, the focus was on how the woman dealt with her unique anxieties and worries, in order to help her understand her cognitive propensities when she was worried and feeling anxiety associated with various events. Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) cognitive restructuring was used. In the next stage, exposure to anxiety images was combined with verbal response prevention. In the final stage, Problem Solving Training (PST) was used in an attempt to improve her problem-solving ability and increase her self-confidence. After these interventions, the patient's complaints about excessive anxiety and worry were less frequent, and she reported being able to manage stress in her daily life more flexibly.
