Proactivity-oriented training for persons suffering from anxiety and depressive disorders. Part 1. Theoretical foundations
The article describes the psychotherapeutic approach to the treatment of anxiety and depressive disorders, aimed at the development of proactivity. Proactivity is considered as a personal resource, which has a multi-component structure, reflects the self-determination level and reveals its deficiency in various mental disorders, including depression and anxiety disorders. The conceptual scheme and goals of proactivity-oriented training are presented. The mechanisms of violation of each component of proactivity (proactive attitude, planning, anticipation, awareness, autonomy, internality) are described, which lead to mala-daptive behavioral and emotional outcomes in anxiety and depression. It has been clarified that the training is integrative in nature, combining the basic principles and some techniques of cognitive-behavioral, existential and mindfulness-oriented psychotherapy.
