title: [The WP scale, an evaluation scale of anxious inhibition].
abstract: The phenomenon of inhibition concerns a feeling of being blocked in usual functioning. It is frequently encountered, in many disorders. Using a general model of anxiety, the authors propose a taxonomy of the phenomenon into inhibition in anxiety states and inhibition associated with other disorders, a differentiation between generalized inhibition and specific inhibition, and between primary and secondary inhibition. Generalized inhibition due to anxiety can be assessed through use of the WP, which is a rating scale developed for this purpose by the authors.
