Anxiety Disorders in Children and Adolescents

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.
