Anxiety and Cognition

"This volume represents the most integrative account of cognitive biases in anxiety to date, and it shold be a standard reference for researchers investigating cognitive processes in anxiety."-"Lewis R. Goldberg, Contemporary Psychology "This interesting monograph, written by one of the world's leading authorities on cognition and emotion, provides a persuasive synthesis of cutting edge research on the cognitive aspects of anxiety. In particular, Professor Eysenck's emphasis on the 'repressor' processing style is likely to have a major impact on work in this area. Researchers in personality psychology and experimental psychopathology will surely benefit by reading this book."-"Richard J. McNally, Harvard University "I enjoyed reading this book - it was very interesting and written in a very clear and accessible style. It provides a careful review of a wide range of literature dealing with anxiety primarily from a cognitive perspective. The four factor theory provides a most useful framework for considering the complex and divergent literature on information processing biases in non-clinical and clinical anxiety, and on cognitive therapy for anxiety disorders."-"Karin Mogg, University of Cambride "This book represents an admirable attempt to integrate experimental research on the cognitive aspects of anxiety with the clinical application of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to the treatment of anxiety disorders. . .An especially useful feature is the highlighting of some unique clinical problems that need to be addressed by cognitive models of anxiety...a very nice summary of experimental approaches to the clinical aspects of the main anxietydisorders."-"Elaine Fox, University of Essex
