About this title

Synopsis

The third volume of the Handbook of Anxiety reflects the renewed interest in the basis of anxiety and the search for a biochemistry of anxiety. While there have been biochemical/pharmacological studies since the early 1960s two events have contributed significantly to present investigations. The first was the discovery of specific benzodiazepine binding sites in the brain of vertebrate species, and the second the reclassification of anxiety states under DSM-III criteria and more recently DSM-III-R. Research in the area of the biology of anxiety has developed rapidly in the past decade; this volume summarizes some of these advances and hopefully points to new directions for further research.
