Anxiety is one of those entltles which everyone "knows," but which
ultimately resists simple objective description. The essence of the
phenomenon is its subjectivity. True it has its well documented
associated physiological events: the increased pulse rate and blood
pressure, sweating, and so on, but each of these phenomena may also
be part of physical exertion, fear, or even pleasurable excitement.
They cannot fully define the sense of threat, danger, collapse,
malignancy in greater or smaller amount, in greater or lesser
locali sation, with more or less objective evidence for its
validity that characterises the particular psychological pain we
all recognize as anxiety. It is precisely the essential
subjectivity of anxiety and its association with an enormous range
of experience that makes it difficult to assign to it well-defined
diagnostic labels of the kinds so carefully described by Dr.
Spitzer in his chapter on classification. His chapter ranges from
the extreme dread of "Panic Disorders," to the diffuse terror of
the environment which used to be labelled "Agoraphobia" (and is
still so called in the day to day pragmatic usage of many clinics)
and is not assimilated to the class of phobias with the label
"Social Phobias." He also addresses the "Simple Phobias" which are
perhaps the most readily labelled of the many varieties of
anxiety."
