Optimizing inhibitory learning during exposure therapy. (2008, background): “…to explain the effects of exposure therapy in the widely known ‘emotional processing’ theory (EPT), initiated by Rachman (1980), extensively expanded by Foa and Kozak (1986) and subsequently revised to take into account developments in context specificity of extinction (Foa & McNally, 1996).”
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Anxiety Disorders: Different Treatments, Similar Mechanisms? (2008, background): “…theory (Foa & Kozak, 1986; Rachman, 1980), exposure to the feared stimulus leads to the development of a nonfear structure that modifies the original fear structure (Foa & Kozak, 1986), or in a more recent formulation of the theory, competes with the original fear structure (Foa & McNally, 1996).”
Perceived Control and Mindfulness: Implications for Clinical Practice. (2016, background): “For example, exposure therapy allows clients to be in control of how and when they experience feared situations (Mineka & Thomas, 1999).”
What Is the Core Fear in Social Phobia? A New Model to Facilitate Individualized Case Conceptualization and Treatment. (2009, background): “…suggest that the extinction of learned fear during exposurebased CBT depends integrally on ensuring that patients process new emotional information that is incompatible with their existing mental representations of fear (Foa & Kozak, 1986; Foa & McNally, 1996; Powers, Smits, Leyro, & Otto, 2007).”
Optimizing Exposure Therapy for Anxiety Disorders: An Inhibitory Learning and Inhibitory Regulation Approach (2015, background): “The very influential ‘emotional processing theory’ [Foa and Kozak, 1986; Foa and McNally, 1996] emphasized within-session habituation (i.e. fear reduction from initial activation or peak fear to end of exposure) as a precursor to between session-habituation (i.e. fear reduction from one exposure…”
Maximizing Exposure Therapy: An Inhibitory Learning Approach (2014, unknown): “…to exposure Notably, the strategies listed below are not always consistent with an habituation-based model of exposure therapy, which rests upon fear reduction during exposure trials as a critical index of therapeutic change (e.g., Foa & Kozak, 1986; Foa & McNally, 1996; Lader & Matthews, 1968).”
The active ingredient in EMDR: is it traditional exposure or dual focus of attention? (2006, background): “Procedures that distract the client from the feared stimulus would be expected to reduce the rate of habituation (Foa & McNally, 1996).”
Collective rituals, emotional climate and intergroup perception: Participation in "Gacaca" tribunals and assimilation of the Rwandan genocide (2007, background): “Thus, a prevalent emotional information processing theory, Foa and McNally (1996) explicitly stated that the reactivation of intense emotion linked to a traumatic experience is a preliminary and necessary condition to come to terms with it.”
