Synopsis
This book is unique in bringing together information on fear and anxiety disorders from many disciplines, including ethology, genetics, biochemistry, physiology, pharmacology, psychology, and psychiatry. Definitive as a reference work, it is also fascinating to read. With over 3000 entries in the bibliography, the book is extremely thorough both in presenting the scientific basis for understanding fear behaviour and in describing anxiety disorders and their treatment. Dealing first with normal fear and then with clinical syndromes, it describes the phenomena and the factors known to influence them. It synthesizes naturalistic and experimental work in animals and humans so that researchers and clinicians can understand each other's work. The book will be of special use to behavioural scientists, clinical psychologists and psychiatrists, and of interest to many others.

His book offers both a detailed discussion of the clinical aspects of fear~related syndromes and a broad exploration of the sources and mechanisms of fear and defensive behavior. Dealing first with normal fear, Marks establishes a firm, scientific basis for understanding it. He then presents a thorough analysis of the development, symptoms, and treatment of fear~related syndromes. Phobic and obsessive~compulsive disorders are examined in detail. Marks illustrates his study with examples of fear and defensive behavior in other living organisms. "Human beings are unique in some respects but not in others," he states. "Creative links are possible if we remain aware of our evolutionary heritage of brain and learning mechanisms as well as sociocultural capacities." By drawing provocative analogies between animal and human behavior, Marks sheds new light on the origins of fears, phobias, and obsessive~compulsive problems, as well as on their treatment by drugs and psychological means. Clinical psychologists, ethologists, and anyone interested in the mechanisms of behavior will be fascinated by this authoritative study. The text is intriguing and informative, and the bibliography of over 2100 entries makes it an invaluable reference. Isaac Marks is Professor of Experimental Psychopathology at the Institute of Psychiatry, University of London. Seller Inventory # 3291802
