Editorial Reviews

Review

"The volume has many strengths, including a list of prominent contributors, and the presentation of results from unpublished data sets. A further strength is the discussion of psychological and biological factors..." --Behavior Research & Theory "This book is a contribution to the sparse literature on chronic anxiety." --General Hospital Psychiatry "This edited volume is timely particularly with the impending DSM-IV. Drs. Rapee and Barlow, both recognized international researchers in the area of anxiety disorders, have brought together the state-of-the-art in research into the psychopathology of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and mixed anxiety and depression (MAD)....A valuable book." --Behavior Change "A highly readable volume....Provides an excellent overview of the field." --Contemporary Psychology "The authors have done a great job in distilling the difficult and often elusive concept of chronic anxiety from a spectrum ranging from normal human conditions to pathological disorders....They provide an excellent critique and make intelligent recommendations for research. This book should be of interest to many people in both clinical and academic settings." --American Journal of Psychiatry -- Review


Review

"Drs. Rapee and Barlow have contributed immeasurably in the past to both scientific and clinical understanding of anxiety disorders. Once again in this book they have successfully brought together many disciplines and points of view to present a cohesive, illuminating, and important description of chronic anxiety. The book is eminently readable and informative and will appeal both to specialists in the field of anxiety disorder research as well as to clinicians and patients with anxiety disorder who want to understand the most current recommendations for treatment."--Jack M. Gorman, M.D.
College of Physicians & Surgeons of Columbia University

"Barlow and Rapee have edited an outstanding comprehensive text on the subject of Generalized Anxiety Disorders. This relatively neglected orphan of DSM III Anxiety Disorders is in need of a focused academic research effort, similar to that undertaken over the past decade for panic disorder. [This book] provides the foundation upon which such an effort could be based. The list of contributing authors includes the key clinical researchers in this field. The topics covered provide a comprehensive view of the current state of psychological and biological knowledge...."--Katherine Shear, M.D., Associate Professor of Psychiatry, Cornell University, Director of Anxiety Disorders Clinic, N.Y. Hospital, Payne-Whitney Clinic

3.0 out of 5 stars not enough, April 4, 2000
By A Customer
This book didn't really tell me as much about chronic anxiety as I'd hoped. I got excited by the subtitle (Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Mixed Anxiety-Depression) because the anxiety-depression connection receives too little attention in the literature, but I was disappointed that there wasn't more here.

When I see a chapter titled "The Biology of Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Chronic Anxiety", I expect ... well, whole books could be written on that. Maybe the problem is in the title. The articles skim the surface and leave me frustrated. Of what good, really, is it to know only that "neurotransmitters of potential significance in anxiety disorders include ... (NMDA) receptors and ... (CRF). Selective antagonists of the excitatory NMDA receptors have been shown in animal models to have antiepileptic, muscle relasxant, and anxiolytic properties [reference given]" (p. 65). And then, after some detail on CRF, the chapter leaves off neurotransmitters and moves on to metabolism. The fact that it said neurotransmitters of interest *include* these two implies there are others. WHAT ARE THEY? And the single sentence covering NMDA is too little when a book is written narrative-style like this. Either leave it out or give me a little more substance. As it is, the chapter reads like it can't decide whether to be a narrative or a list of things to memorize for an exam.

I found similar difficulties with other chapters.

I don't mean that there's nothing of value here, just that you'll wind up needing to go to other books and articles anyway, so...? You'd probably run into, for instance, the work on NMDA elsewhere if you just did the literature review yourself. This book doesn't add anything to that.
