title: UCS inflation in the aetiology of a variety of anxiety disorders: some case histories.
abstract: This paper reports a number of case histories which illustrate the involvement of UCS inflation processes in the aetiology of a variety of anxiety disorders including agoraphobia, simple phobia, PTSD, obsessive-compulsive disorder and panic disorder. These cases are discussed in the context of: (i) renewed interest in cognitive features of conditioning models of anxiety disorders; and (ii) the implications that such models might have for an understanding of the aetiology and treatment of anxiety-based disorders.
