Cognitive Behavioral Processes Across Psychological Disorders: A Review of the Utility and Validity of the Transdiagnostic Approach
TLDR
In this paper, the transdiagnostic approach states that there are key cognitive and behavioral processes responsible for maintaining symptoms and these are shared across psychological disorders (Harvey, Watkins, Mansell, & Shafran, 2004).Abstract:
The transdiagnostic approach states that there are key cognitive and behavioral processes responsible for maintaining symptoms and these are shared across psychological disorders (Harvey, Watkins, Mansell, & Shafran, 2004). The first goal of this article is to justify the potential utility of a transdiagnostic perspective for theory, research and treatment using empirical evidence and clinical vignettes. We then take as an example one set of cognitive processes—attentional processes—to illustrate the approach. Evidence for three attentional processes is provided: vigilance to external concern–related stimuli; vigilance to internal concern–related stimuli (self–focused attention) and attentional avoidance. It is concluded that each of these attentional processes are transdiagnostic. We then discuss three possible resolutions to the question: How can a transdiagnostic perspective be valid when the different psychological disorders present so differently? The three proposals are: (1) variations in idiosyncra...read more
