Objectives: The present study aims to explore the course of generalized anxiety disorder and to assess the application of psycho-social management in alleviating the symptoms associated with generalized anxiety disorder and to improve the client’s overall functioning. Research design: Case study. Sample and method: This study was carried out in Hyderabad and 33 years old married male was included. Treatment plan was formulated according to psycho-social management wherein different management techniques were utilised to modify the client’s generalized anxiety beliefs and the associated behaviours. Result: Findings of the assessment showed significant distress and impairment in overall functioning. Stressor activates his dysfunctional belief which shifts his attention to minor perceptual disturbance and results in misinterpretation of these trivial variations. Psycho-social management techniques successfully restructured his dysfunctional beliefs and remarkably improved his functioning. Conclusion: On the basis of results, it can be ascertained that psycho-social management is an effective approach to treat generalized anxiety disorder.

Recent Developments

This article describes recent developments in online interventions for distressed couples, with a focus on an adaptation of an online program to address the needs of couples in which one partner has Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). This program, OurRelationship.com, is based on Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy, an empirically supported treatment which builds closeness between partners through empathy and acceptance of one another’s differences rather than emphasizing short-term change. We review the rationale for adapting the OurRelationship.com program to focus on couples affected by GAD, the structure of this intervention, and a brief case study illustrating our clinical approach. In this case study, a couple who participated in the online intervention reported that by the end of the program, they had been able to recognize the patterns of communication they had developed related to the female partner’s generalized anxiety. Moreover, they reported they had been able to develop new strategies for responding to these issues that improved the quality of their relationship.

Family Based

This case study follows an 8-year-old Caucasian female who presented with symptoms of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). Given this child’s age but advanced cognitive skills, careful selection of an appropriate treatment was made. In the current case study, a family-based cognitive–behavioral therapy intervention (Wood & McLeod, 2008) was implemented to treat this child’s symptoms of GAD. Following completion of the intervention, the child demonstrated significant decreases in her symptoms. In addition, she demonstrated a thorough understanding of coping skills, successfully applied and generalized her skills to a variety of situations, and took pride in teaching her skills to others. This child showed quantitative improvements on objective self-report measures as well as qualitative improvements in her overall emotional and behavioral functioning. This case study suggested that cognitive–behavioral therapy interventions, particularly when used in a family-based approach, are effective for children with symptoms of GAD.
