Description

While the conceptual and empirical relationship between anxiety and depression has long been a matter of concern, no systematic attempt had been made to examine the interaction between the two disorders. This book is the first such effort. The contributors to the volume were asked to identify the similar and distinctive aspects of these disorders, and to consider the implications of their findings for the theory, diagnosis, and treatment of anxiety and depression. This book: Offers the first systematic attempt to examine the interaction between anxiety and depression Examines the comorbidity of anxiety and depression--that there is considerable overlap in the two disorders Discusses the similarities and dissimilarities of disorders of affect, such as anxiety and depression Examines how theories and treatments (as well as specific assessment instruments) for anxiety and depression can benefit from knowledge of the overlap between the two disorders Integrates views of anxiety and depression, their theoretical constructs and clinical outcomes (Blurb Version #2) While the conceptual and empirical relationship between anxiety and depression has long been a matter of concern, no systematic attempt has been made to examine the interaction between the two disorders.
