This landmark work is indispensable for anyone studying anxiety or seeking to deliver effective psychological
and pharmacological treatments. Integrating insights from emotion theory, recent advances in cognitive science
and neuroscience, and increasingly important findings from developmental psychology and learning, David H. Barlow
comprehensively examines the phenomena of anxiety and panic, their origins, and the roles that each plays in normal
and pathological functioning. Chapters coauthored by Barlow with other leading experts then outline what is currently
known about the classification, presentation, etiology, assessment, and treatment of each of the DSM-IV anxiety
disorders. A definitive resource for researchers and clinicians, this is also an ideal text for graduate-level
courses.
