Books in the BRAT Series in Clinical Psychology series

The first title to be published in the "BRAT Series on Clinical Psychology", this book presents a critical analysis of the theories and empirical evidence to date regarding the origins of phobias and anxiety disorders, and the reasons why more women than men suffer from them.

Providing an overview, this book discusses the phenomenon of thought suppression in the light of broader theories, such as, the cognitive theory of obsession, and the ego depletion hypothesis. It also links the thought suppression paradigm to other research fields, such as, directed forgetting and repressive coping.
