Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This paper reviews the metacognitive theory of Generalized Anxiety Disorder, distinguishing between types of worry and explaining their persistence through specific metacognitions. It describes metacognitive therapy as a treatment aimed at modifying beliefs about worry and reducing its use as a coping mechanism. The resource summarizes empirical evidence from recent trials, noting that initial results suggest this approach may lead to higher recovery rates compared to applied relaxation or cognitive-behavioral treatments focused on uncertainty intolerance.
