Anxiety Disorders in Children

This volume not only conveys the latest work on anxiety disorders but points to areas where significant questions remain unanswered. Including an informative array of case studies, laboratory investigations, and epidemiological and diagnostic research, the authors trace conceptualizations of anxiety disorders among children in an historical context as a backdrop for contemporary advances; they examine current theory and research on topics such as etiology, risk factors, diagnosis, assessment, psychotherapeutic and pharmacological treatments, clinical course and long-term outcome.
