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.

The Neurobiology of Anxiety (Handbook of Anxiety)

This fifth and final volume of the series aims at covering areas not so far included in the series, together with new findings, with implications for future directions in research. The first section deals with issues surrounding diagnosis, beginning with consideration of the unitary concepts of neurotic disorder, in the light of the relationship between anxiety and depressive disorders. The book also gives a balanced and clear review of the difficult subject of comorbidity of anxiety and depression.

The recent burgeoning of scientific enquiry into anxiety disorders has shed new light on the biological and psychosocial causes of anxiety disorders as well as on the normal emotion of anxiety. In so doing it has helped sharpen the line of demarcation between them. It has also paved the way for the development of novel forms of treatment that are already bringing relief to those affected by those forms of suffering dominated by morbid anxiety. States of anxiety continue to be difficult to measure and to define and the differentiation of these conditions from other forms of psychiatric disorders and from ordinary anxiety remains a subject of controversy and debate between various sections of thought. This new open-ended Handbook of Anxiety series seeks to steer the middle road between the various streams: by having its editorship divided over Europe, the USA and Australia, and through a highly international team of authors, a scholarly, up-to-date and critical review providing the necessary balance is warranted. This volume explores the different dimensions of anxiety and their interactions, focussing on the growing points created by the scientific advances of the past decade.

Biological, Clinical and Cultural Perspectives (Handbook of Anxiety)

Noyes, Russell, Jr.

This second volume of the Handbook of Anxiety focuses upon the classification of anxiety syndromes, the measurement of anxiety, social factors in the development of anxiety, anxiety in specific populations and disturbances associated with anxiety. Some chapters expand upon topics that were introduced in Volume 1. Others explore areas where new data are available and where knowledge has advanced. All are scholarly reviews that offer a critical assessment of research methods, as well as an appraisal of the latest work in this field.

Classification, Etiological Factors and Associated Disturbances (Handbook of Anxiety)

Noyes, Russell

This book is psychiatry's reply to the diverse group of antipsychiatrists, including Laing, Foucault, Goffman, Szasz and Bassaglia, that has made fashionable the view that mental illness is merely socially deviant behaviour and that psychiatrists are agents of the capitalist society seeking to repress such behaviour. It establishes, by the use of evidence from historical and transcultural studies, that mental illness has been recognized in all cultures since the beginning of history and goes on to explore the philosophical and medical basis for psychiatry's diagnosis and treatment of mental illness. Finally, it tackles two issues where psychiatry has been seen as at odds with the values prevailing in society: involuntary hospitalization and the insanity defence. The Reality of Mental Illness does not pretend to offer simple answers to the complex problems it discusses, but will leave the reader with a much greater understanding of psychiatry's aims, practices and problems.
