Over the last decade, there has been considerable progress in the recognition and treatment of anxiety across the lifespan. Researchers now believe that the childhood-onset anxiety syndromes foreshadow adult anxiety disorders. This belief, coupled with the advent of DSM-IV, which introduces classification refinements that more closely align childhood and adult disorders, provides the impetus for Anxiety Disorders in Children and Adolescents - the most comprehensive volume available on anxiety disorders in young people. Rich with state-of-the-art coverage of anxiety disorders in children and adolescents, this all-inclusive volume is an ideal resource for clinicians and clinical researchers alike. Written in an accessible style, it also serves as a reference and text for students at all levels of training.
