In this book, the discussion of the normal and pathological aspects of
anxiety is critically examined. A chapter on the molecular basis of
anxiety is included, outlining the potential of such approach in the
discovery of novel effective pharmacological interventions. The face
validity, predictability and usefulness of animal models in the design
of valid new efficacious products are discussed. Separate chapters
dedicated to each particular type of anxiety such as generalized anxiety
disorder, social phobia, posttraumatic stress disorder, panic and
obsessive-compulive disorder are included.
This book should be of benefit to psychiatrists, clinical psychologists,
general practitioners, nurses, students and all those engaged in
neuropsychiatric research.
