Anxiety and Fear

  • Chapter
International Handbook of Behavior Modification and Therapy

Abstract

Since the first edition of this handbook, behavioral research in the field of anxiety disorders has increased dramatically. Although in the 1970s articles in behavioral journals concerned mainly analogue studies, in the last decade numerous studies have been published using clinical phobics as subjects. In addition, a number of influential volumes on anxiety disorders have been published (Chambless & Goldstein, 1982; Emmelkamp, 1982; Marks, 1987), and at least one major journal, the Journal of Anxiety Disorders, has been founded. The emphasis throughout this chapter will be on research with clinical subjects. Because separate chapters in this volume are devoted to drugs combined with behavior therapy, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and anxiety in children and adolescents, these topics will not be dealt with in this chapter.
