Contributors from the US and Canada begin a process of integrating processes between individuals into theories of and treatments for the anxiety disorders, which since Freud's time have
consistently been considered solely in terms of internal factors. They begin by setting out models for understanding interpersonal processes and relationships in anxiety disorders and assessing
linkages between the processes and the disorders. Then they survey interpersonal processes in specific anxiety disorders, among them social, obsessive-compulsive, post-traumatic stress, panic
and agoraphobia, and hypochondriasis. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
