Review
"A remarkable and unique contribution to the scientific analysis, diagnosis, and treatment of the anxiety disorders. He assesses the strengths and weaknesses of diverse approaches that range from phenomenological to biochemical and he successfully integrates the reliable findings from these sources. Far more than any other work on the topic, this one integrates the theory and rapidly growing body of basic research on emotions. This helps make the book a solid scientific treatise and a state-of-art work for understanding, treating, and preventing anxiety disorders. This volume is likely to become a landmark for clinical researchers and practitioners."

Product Description
Knowledge about anxiety has increased exponentially since the initial publication of this classic work. This extensively revised second edition now brings the field thoroughly up to date. Part I builds on the groundbreaking conceptual framework presented in the original volume, explicating the nature of anxiety and panic in light of emotion theory, recent advances in cognitive science and neuroscience, and increasingly important findings from developmental psychology and learning. Existing chapters have been updated and restructured, and a new chapter added on etiological factors. Part II outlines what is currently known about the presentation, etiology, assessment, and treatment of each of the specific disorders. This section features chapters coauthored by Dr. Barlow and other leading experts associated with the Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders at Boston University.
