In the year 1985, presumed to mark the 850th anniversary of
Maimonides' birth, the Sixth Jerusalem Philosophical Encounter was
dedicated to Maim onides as philosopher. We did not enter into the
other aspects of his work, rabbinical, legal, medical, etc., except
in so far as the relation between his philosophy and his work in
halakha (Jewish law) is itself a philosophical question. That no
one is quite certain about Maimonides' date of birth is symbolic of
the state of his philosophy as well. Maimonides' thought poses
various enigmas, lends itself to contradictory interpretations and
gives rise today, as it did in the Middle Ages, to sustained
controversies. Some of the contribu tions to the present volume
deal with these and cognate topics. Others deal with certain
aspects of the philosophical tradition in which Maimonides was
rooted, with some traits peculiar to the Islamic society in the
midst of which he lived, and with his influence on Christian
scholasticism. Maimonides' thought had many facets, and for this
and other reasons the question as to his place and stature in the
history of philosophy admits of no simple answer. In this volume an
attempt has been made to draw atten tion to some of these
complexities."
During the past years there has been rapid progress in the
understanding of how early life stress impacts psychopathology in
children. The first two parts of this book present the basic
principles of brain development and describe the most important
neuronal systems.This includes systems involved in emotion
processing, cognitive control, and social processes.Thesefirst two
general sectionsare followed by an overview about recent research
on various neuronal and psychiatric disorders, where environmental
exposures and altered brain development play an important role:
sleep, autism, ADHD and other developmental forms of
psychopathology."

Anxiety affects millions, manifesting as generalized anxiety
disorder (GAD), obsessive compulsive disorder, panic disorder,
phobias, post-traumatic-stress disorder (PTSD), and social anxiety
disorder. Not only are anxiety disorders common, but they are also
crippling, frequently co-occurring and predict high risk for
depressive disorders. Shared mechanisms may explain the overlapping
features of many anxiety disorders and account for associations
with other highly-impairing conditions, such as major depression
and substance use. Beyond risk for specific disorders, anxiety also
predicts a number of other adverse outcomes, including suicidal
behavior, medical problems, social, and economic difficulties.
Conversely, disorder-specific mechanisms may also exist and explain
the unique features of each syndrome. Thus, it is important to
understand both shared and specific aspects of anxiety. The Primer
on Anxiety Disorders provides early-stage practitioners and
trainees, as well as seasoned clinicians and researchers, with
need-to-know knowledge on diagnosis and treatment. Clinical cases
are used throughout the book to enhance understanding of and
illustrate specific disorders, comorbid conditions and clinical
issues. To facilitate an integrative approach, content allows
clinicians to understand patient characteristics and tailor
interventions. The integrated approach of each chapter includes
recent research on genetics and neuroscience to understand the
mechanisms of anxiety disorders, focusing on the forthcoming new
nosology in DSM-5. Chapters further integrate innovative advances
in clinical research providing research on a range of discoveries
regarding biomarkers of illness, biological predictors of
treatments and the effect of treatment on neurocircuitry.
