Although there have been impressive advances in the treatment of anxiety disorders during the past few decades, these have focused almost exclusively on short-term relief of anxiety symptoms. During this period, accumulated data have suggested that short-term, symptom-focused treatment is not sufficient for many patients. It is likely that ancillary psychotherapy treatment will be needed to enhance the extent and durability of response, reduce vulnerability to life stress, and bolster feelings of self-efficacy and controllability. These treatments will draw on strategies and techniques from traditional psychotherapy, but will need to incorporate more focused goals and regular assessments.
尽管在过去几十年里，焦虑症的治疗取得了令人瞩目的进展，但这些进展几乎完全集中在焦虑症状的短期缓解上。在此期间，积累的数据表明，对许多患者来说，短期的、以症状为重点的治疗是不够的。可能需要辅助心理治疗来提高反应的程度和持久性，降低对生活压力的易感性，并增强自我效能感和可控感。这些治疗将借鉴传统心理治疗的策略和技术，但需要纳入更有针对性的目标和定期评估。
