Abstract


Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is an anxiety disorder that interferes with social, work, and other bodily functions. This disorder usually appears in mid-teens to mid-twenties, with a higher percentage of women. There are several causes for the emergence of GAD, such as biological, psychological, and social factors. The purpose of this study was to determine the psychological dynamics of patients with GAD. The participant is a 24-year-old woman who is indicated to have GAD. The method used in this research is qualitative with a case study approach. Research participants were selected using the purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using interviews, observations, and psychological test tools, including Graphic tests (WZT, HTP, BAUM, and DAP), DASS tests, and MCMI-IV. The results showed that the appearance of GAD symptoms experienced by participants could not be separated from the dependent personality type, who tended to be perfectionists, and difficulties in emotional regulation, sibling rivalry, as well as authoritarian and permissive-demanding parenting patterns. The stresses of life also contribute to the symptoms of GAD
