The purpose of this study was to understand the maintenance characteristics of generalized anxiety disorder(hereinafter GAD) by discussing the various maintenance mechanisms of GAD. Each mechanism explained the threat factors for the people who experience GAD differently, but explained in common that the people to experience GAD use the worry to avoid the threat factors. However, the understandings about function of worry were different. In addition, each mechanism explained in common that excessive worry disturbs the proper management of GAD, and resulted in the vicious circle mechanism to increase worry and anxiety. The significance of this study is in that it clarified theoretically the maintenance characteristics of GAD by discussing the various maintenance mechanisms of GAD. And this study also can be utilized for counselling and establishment of healing strategy for the people to experience GAD in the field of counselling. Moreover, it is required to verify this study results empirically in the counselling fields.
