This paper outlines the theoretical foundations of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), emphasizing its basis in neuroscience and scientific psychology. It reviews current models of GAD, including transdiagnostic processes and childhood presentations, alongside nonpharmaceutical treatment techniques.
