The authors introduce the phenomenon and briefly review the main theories that have been proposed to explain its origins. The most common anxiety disorders are described in short chapters. The authors explain the essential features that define each disorder. The last chapter discusses the merits of the current approaches for treating anxiety. The authors emphasize the promise of cognitive behavioral therapy.The appendix contains short self-assessment tests for several of the disorders described in the text. The source publications for each chapter are provided.The authors have done an excellent job minimizing technical jargon. Readers with no prior background in psychology or psychiatry should have no trouble nderstanding the concepts.This is one of my favorite books in the VSI series (so far). All these books are about the same length, 120 pages. However I’ve found that some of the books are difficult to get through despite their brevity. The authors of Anxiety maintained my interest all the way to the end. If you are looking for a readable and affordable introduction to anxiety, this book is a great place to start. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars As a Very Short Introduction, the book more than fulfills its objective *by S***H on Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2013* When I purchased the book, I turned immediately to the personal accounts of anxiety provided from the author's interviews with Monty Python's Michael Palin and soccer coach Graham Taylor. I thought these first-person stories might yield a few insights that could help me deal with my own chronic anxiety. I was disappointed to find two internationally acclaimed celebrities with highly successful careers complaining about the "anxiety" of stage fright and the horror of the pre-game jitters of professional athletes. Knowing that the author chose these two interviewees because they were personal acquaintances of his did not help to boost the relevance of their stories in my view.I knew I couldn't base my opinion of the book on those two chapters alone. I read the rest and now feel that Mr. Freeman covered a lot of ground and provided a satisfying overview of the major forms of anxiety (from generalized anxiety disorder to phobias, OCD and PTSD), their possible causes and treatment, a history of research and a review of ongoing studies into the disease. He discusses cognitive behavioral therapy and psychoanalytic approaches to treatment, as well as the role of neuroscience and neurochemistry.Anxiety: A Very Short Introduction, is not intended primarily to be a self-help book, but the author provides a very accessible look at anxiety disorder, which can enlighten and perhaps give hope to some of us who suffer from the illness. The book could just as easily be used as a good short textbook for an introductory or mid-level college psychology course. It contains plenty of solid bibliographic references and concludes by giving the full text of several popular tests for assessing various types of anxiety.As a Very Short Introduction to anxiety, the book more than delivers on its promise, even if the chapters about Palin and Taylor weren't very useful. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars To the point *by A***O on Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2014* I'd recommend this book if you have no idea what anxiety is, and want to know more about it. It is explained in an easy to understand language and chapter structure. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1700331-anxiety-a-very-short-introduction-1st-edition](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1700331-anxiety-a-very-short-introduction-1st-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
