Anxiety disorders are among the most prevalent forms of
psychopathology across the life span. Although the onset of
such disorders may occur at almost any point, in many cases
they begin in childhood. In this book, the editors have
brought together many of the field's most respected and
innovative researchers and challenged them to take a fresh
look at the major factors that contribute to the etiology
and maintenance of anxiety disorders in childhood and across
the life span. The result is a collection of chapters that
will stimulate further theoretical and empirical efforts
regarding these important issues.
