Anxiety-based disorders are among the most common mental health problems experienced in the population today. Worry is an important feature of most anxiety disorders, in particular Generalized Anxiety Disorders (GAD), phobias, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

The book details the newest treatment approaches and assessment instruments and includes numerous illustrative case studies Once considered synonymous with the cognitive components of anxiety (Mathews, 1990; O'Neill, 1985), worry has emerged as a more specific construct that can not only be distinguished from a larger subset of cognitive aspects of anxiety, but also studied in its own right (Davey, 1993; Davey, Hampton, Farrell & Davidson, 1992; Zebb & Beck, 1998).
