Abstract

This text might better be titled "Anxiety: Proceedings From a Satellite Conference of the Stress and Anxiety Research Society 1990 Annual Meeting." In the preface of this book, the editors indicate that because of the housing limitations at the castle where the meeting took place, only 24 people were invited to participate. The focus of this satellite meeting was to examine the construct of anxiety from the cognitive, psychophysiological, and health perspectives. The participants were also attempting to reach some "rapproachment" in their views on the construct of anxiety. The text is a compendium from 18 of the 22 presenters at that meeting
