Opis

Theorists are increasingly arguing that it is fruitful to approach anxiety from the cognitive perspective, and the empirical evidence supports that contention. The cognitive perspective is also adopted for this book but the approach represents a development and extension of earlier studies.

Recenzje

Despite having such a lengthy history to contend with, this book manages to break new ground in a number of directions...Eysenck explores the relationship between normal and clinical anxiety in considerable detail and rounds it off by presenting his own model of why some individuals are vulnerable to becoming clinically anxious...Emerging from an intelligent and considered review [of his research] is Eysenck's suggestion that some individuals are `hypervigilant to threat in their environment'. - Times Higher Education Supplement, 1993; Review by Tim Dalgleish
