Prepared by a panel of primary care physicians and psychiatrists, this handbook presents a fundamentally new approach to the diagnosis and treatment of anxiety disorders. Part I discusses general principles of diagnosis and treatment of anxiety disorders from the primary care physician's perspective. Part II provides a detailed description of diagnostic criteria and management strategies for each anxiety disorder. An appendix features examples of three important assessment tools, and reproducible patient information aids.
