This book is intended for students and professionals who are seeking an accessible, up-to-date summary of psychological research on anxiety and its disorders. Anxiety is a pervasive and significant negative affect that is a central feature of many psychological problems, including those that we frequently call the "neuroses."

During the past twenty years, research on anxiety has accelerated, and clinicians now have demonstrably effective techniques for reducing unwanted, distressing anxiety. Dr. Rachman discusses much of this research in this new book. The first part provides an introduction to the nature of anxiety, how it evolves, and the different anxiety disorders, such as panic, agoraphobia, and obsessive-compulsive disorders. Each chapter includes a clear summary, and the book also features suggestions for further reading, as well as comprehensive references and indexes.

Anxiety presents the latest research in a clear, concise form for those who are not experts in the field. Throughout, Dr. Rachman gives a balanced perspective and discusses the contributions of different models and theories. Clinical examples and practical implications are highlighted to make the book both readable and relevant.

Review

"[This book] synthesises a wealth of clinical and basic research data and highlights the key findings in the field. It is informative, clearly written and very easy to read. I highly recommend this book as a starting point for psychology students or practitioners requiring a concise yet authoritative overview of this flourishing area of research and clinical practice." - Melanie Marks, Behaviour Research and Therapy
