      abstract = {"Collectively, anxiety disorders are our most prevalent  psychiatric problem, affecting about forty million adults  in the United States. In Anxious, Joseph LeDoux, whose NYU  lab has been at the forefront of research efforts to  understand and treat fear and anxiety, explains the range  of these disorders, their origins, and discoveries that can  restore sufferers to normalcy. LeDoux's groundbreaking  premise is that we've been thinking about fear and anxiety  in the wrong way. These are not innate states waiting to be  unleashed from the brain, but experiences that we assemble  cognitively. Treatment of these problems must address both  their conscious manifestations and underlying non-conscious  processes. While knowledge about how the brain works will  help us discover new drugs, LeDoux argues that the greatest  breakthroughs may come from using brain research to help  reshape psychotherapy. A major work on our most pressing  mental health issue, Anxious explains the science behind  fear and anxiety disorders"--provided from Amazon.com.},
