Neuropsychology of Anxiety - An Enquiry Into the Function of the Septo-Hippocampal System

Zusatztext This is an outstanding updated book summarizing the authors' septo-hippocampal/amygdala theory of anxiety. I highly recommend it. Klappentext The Neuropsychology of Anxiety first appeared in 1982 as the first volume in the Oxford Psychology Series, and quickly established itself as the definitive work on the subject. In the many years since the 1st edition, significant advances have been made in the study of anxiety, and much evidence obtained supporting the original theory. The new edition has been extensively revised, considering these recent advances, and laying down the foundations for future research.
