Abstract

Generalized Anxiety Disorder or GAD is the most common psychological disorder that is
characterized by excessive anxiety and worry (expectations of restlessness) where the symptoms
last for six months. The ultimate aims of this research are to explain GAD with its three
approaches such as humanistic, psychoanalytic and cognitive based on literature review and
research evidence and identify the assessment and treatment for GAD. Treatment for GAD
consists of various forms of psychotherapy for instance Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and
Acceptance Based Group Behavioral Therapy (ABBT). We believe that the result of this study can
be used as reference to find more about generalized anxiety disorder and come up with specific
treatment that is more effective.
