title: [Is there an interpretational bias for childhood events in anxious adult patients?].
abstract: During anamnesis, we attempted often to include the events reported by the patients in our own functional explanation of the disorder. We forget on one hand that the patient reports events intrinsically linked to his pathology, and on the other hand, that an event could not be understood without its context. Concerning the links between the pathology and what is narrated, it is known for a long time that the anxious disorders modify the perception of world by some processes, like the fast detection of the threat in the environment. Questions are: are the anxious encoding bias active to the restitution phase of information processing? Do these bias influence the recall of childhood events? In this article, we present theoretical data and set of experiments who leads us to say that anxious bias exist in the interpretation of childhood events made by anxious patients.
