From the book reviews: "This book focuses on connecting the most current research/data on anxiety disorders with relevant clinical perspectives in order to create a foundation of information for clinicians and researchers, as well as students and trainees. ... It is meant to be used by practitioners in the field of psychiatry or those dealing with anxiety disorders in children, such as pediatricians. However, it is most appropriate for experienced clinicians and researchers." (Sundeep S. Randhawa, Doody's Book Reviews, November, 2014) "Each chapter in this comprehensive book on childhood and adolescent anxiety disorders is written by experts in the field and reviews the most recent research findings. ... The audience is primarily established clinicians and researchers working with children with anxiety disorders. ... the audience can easily be extended to psychiatric residents, fellows, and medical students seeking current research findings in this field. ... It would be very helpful for child psychiatrists in obtaining strong evidential information supporting their clinical practice." (Soo Lee, Doody's Book Reviews, October, 2013)
