Concurrently, theexperimental analysis of defensive behavior has identified three strategies of defense that are shared by different animalspecies, triggered by situations of potential, distal and proximal predatory threat, respectively. The first one consistsof cautious exploration of the environment for risk assessment. The associated emotion is supposed to be anxietyand its pathology, Generalized Anxiety Disorder. The second is manifested by oriented escape or by behavioralinhibition, being related to normal fear and to Specific Phobias, as disorders. The third consists of disorganized flightor complete immobility, associated to dread and Panic Disorder.

Such evolutionary approach offers a reliable theoretical framework for the study of the biologicaldeterminants of anxiety disorders, and a sound basis for psychiatric classification. 2007 artículo científico 0001-3765 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=32779112 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=327 Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências application/pdf Academia Brasileira de Ciências Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências (Brasil) Num.1 Vol.79 |
