Abstract:
Following is a synopsis of the reviews contained within this volume. Each of these reviews is written by experts in their field, and each provides an authoritative treatise on its subject matter. The topics cover the gamut of anxiety-relevant research, from basic mechanistic and animal models through to clinical studies. The authors do a splendid job of introducing key concepts and terms relevant to their fields of study, thereby opening vistas of information for interested readers. The authors-and clearly some credit must also go to the editors-have made great efforts not only to review what has been done, but to imagine where the field(s) will go and how those may, eventually if not immediately, impact the prevention and treatment of anxiety disorders. I hope you enjoy reading and learning from this cadre of experts as much as I did.
