Child Anxiety Disorders: A Guide to Research and Treatment: Second Edition

Childhood anxiety disorders represent one of the most common psychological disorders found among the general population. They can be serious, distressful, and functionally impairing, so much so that there has been an explosion of interest in their treatment, primarily from pharmacological and cognitive-behavioral perspectives. Addressing these perspectives is this revised second edition of Childhood Anxiety Disorders. It pays close attention to new pharmacological and psychological interventions as well as multi-center trials that compare single and combined treatment modalities. Additionally, they devote new sections to racial, ethnic, and cultural factors in the area of childhood anxiety disorders and sleep and anxiety disorders. Written on the cusp of newly published information and studies, Childhood Anxiety Disorders is relevant, informative, and indispensible.
