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. Building on the groundbreaking conceptual framework presented in the original volume, the text seamlessly integrates insights from emotion theory, advances in cognitive science and neuroscience, and increasingly important findings from developmental psychology and learning. Addressed are the distinctiveness of anxiety and panic, their origins, and the latest developments in diagnosis, assessment, and treatment. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
