Anxiety is a complex phenomenon and a central feature of many
psychological problems. This new edition of Anxiety, part of the
popular Clinical Psychology: A Modular Course Series, updates the
remarkable developments that have occurred in the understanding of
anxiety and the astonishing dissemination of effective methods of
treatment. This book details the growth of positive psychology,
with its emphasis on learned optimism and resilience, influencing
clinical psychology and psychological therapy, and explains the new
concept of prospection, a key element in positive psychology based
on the human ability to imagine thoughts and images about the
future. It is said that we are influenced by the past but drawn
into the future, and this notion has significant implications for
anxiety. The recent infusion of positivity into theorising about
anxiety has introduced a welcome balance into our understanding of
this phenomenon. This informative book covers the latest
developments in research, therapy and theorising, containing
numerous case-history illustrations about anxiety. It should appeal
to practising and trainee psychologists and practitioners in
related fields.

Therapeuten aller Art entwickeln ein ziemlich genaues und
erstaunlich sicheres GefUhl hinsichtlich der Veranderung, die sie
im Patienten be- wirken oder nicht bewirken. Dieses GefUhl
korrespondiert aber nicht notwendigerweise mit den tatsachlichen
Veranderungen. Es gibt ge- niigend Untersuchungen, die zeigen, daB
Therapeuten oft dazu neigen, die Wirksamkeit ihrer Behandlung eher
zu iiberschiitzen als zu gering einzuschiitzen. Die GefUhle oder
Verhaitensweisen, mit denen sich der Therapeut befaBt, sind
offensichtlich so subtil oder komplex, daB sie sich der Beurteilung
des Therapeuten zurn groBen Teil entziehen. In diesem Milieu kommt
es nach bekannten psychologischen Regeln leicht zur
Fehleinschiitzung, die zwei Funktionen haben kann. Einmal fUhrt sie
zur Selbstbestatigung des Therapeuten und zur Sicherstellung der
kontinuierlichen Bereitwilligkeit zur Ausiibung schwieriger
therapeuti- scher Aufgaben. Zum anderen wird es gerade deswegen
schwerfallen, den Therapeuten zu einer kritischen Untersuchung und
Bewertung seiner selbst zu bringen. So ist es nicht verwunderlich,
daB die Publikation von HANS-JURGEN EYSENCK iiber die Bewertung der
Effekte der Psychotherapie im Jahre 1952 dem Bruch eines sorgfaltig
gehegten Tabus gleichkam. Seine der- zeitige Feststellung enthielt
die provokative These, daB die Besserungs- rate in der Behandlung
von Neurotikern fUr die Psychoanalyse 44% betragt, fUr die
eklektisch durchgefUhrte Psychotherapie 64% und fUr den allgemeinen
praktischen Arzt 72%. Es ist nicht nur diese inverse Beziehung
zwischen psychotherapeutischer Spezialkenntnis und Wirk- samkeit
der Behandlung, die eine sehr intensive Kritik der gesamten
Psychotherapie auslosten.
