Abstract:
Pavlov’s extinction theory favors that extinction can inhibit individual’s
fear response to the conditioned stimulus. However, extinction scenario dependence
can induce the recurrence of Extinguished fear, which means that exposure therapy
based on extinction theory has limitations. Clinically, patients with anxiety disorders
who are treated with exposure therapy are likely to exhibit behavioral performance
of renewal or spontaneous recovery, which brings great difficulties to treatment. The
core theoretical basis of exposure therapy is the extinction of fear memory. Extinction
training can inhibit the individual’s fear response to a conditioned stimulus (CS).
However, extinction training forms context-dependent learning, which will lead to the
relapse of the fear response that already has extinguished. Therefore, how to reduce
patients’ fear relapse has become a key issue in the treatment of anxiety disorders.
Based on the possibility that drug intervention may have side effects on patients'
bodies, this paper focuses on the all-natural, non-invasive and effective methods of
fear relapse intervention, aiming to provide appropriate guidance and suggestions for
psychologists.
巴甫洛夫的消退理论认为:消退能够抑制个体对条件刺激的恐惧反应。
但消退的情景依赖性会诱发消退恐惧反应的重现,这意味着基于消退理论的暴
露疗法具有局限性。临床上,焦虑失调患者在接受暴露疗法治疗 [ 如创伤后应激
障碍(PTSD),特殊恐怖症等 ] 时可能会表现出:续新与自发性恢复等恐惧重
现的行为特征。鉴于此,本文针对如何辅助暴露治疗减少患者的恐惧重现,综
述了全天然、无创性与有效的干预方法,旨在为心理医师提供适当的参考。
