Summary: Recent years have seen significant advances in our knowledge of psychosocial interventions for anxiety disorders, yet scant consideration has been given to how these disorders are manifested and treated within different cultures and ethnic groups. Filling a significant void, this pioneering volume presents a thorough review of the research and clinical knowledge in this area. Leading experts examine how different cultural groups view anxiety, offer guidelines for diagnosis, and describe how therapists can provide culturally informed treatment.
