"In The Development Psychopathology of Anxiety, 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 appear to contribute to the etiology and maintenance of anxiety disorders in childhood and throughout the life span. The result is a series of creative chapters that will stimulate further theoretical and empirical efforts regarding these important issues and which will be of interest to researchers and clinicians alike."--Jacket.
