Résumé

La peur post-adaptative est une proposition de permutation de la mort et de l'anxiété généralisée stipulée principalement pour impliquer les cognitions liées à la mort et les épiphénomènes morbides, qui s'exprime en termes de a) l'écologie moderne de plus en plus compétitive et chargée d'informations, b) une approche cognitivo-informatique. -cadre thérapeutique dynamique, et c) la centralité facultative de l'anxiété à l'action. Le but de cette proposition originale, à travers la déconstruction de deux évaluations biopsychosociales fictives et l'exposition théorique critique connexe, est de doter les cliniciens d'une alternative convaincante, saillante et productive qui admet une facilité générative et intégrative unique et un potentiel contre des moyens cliniques souvent limités ou inadéquats.
