Résumé : Cognitive-affective neuroscience of depression and anxiety disorders covers the diagnosis, evaluation, psychobiology and treatment of depression and the anxiety disorders most commonly seen in clinical practice. Each chapter highlights the mediating neurocircuitry of a aparticulaar disorder, and synthesizes information about the relevant cognitive-affective functions, neurotransmitter systems and evolutionary basis. The oversall aim of this unique text is to develop an integrated conceptual approach to depression and anxiety disorders, and to the brain-mind and its psychopathology. The book spans recent studies in functional imaging and cognitive science, as well as theoretical work in evolutionary approaches to psychiatry. It is presented in an easy-to-read style, with clear illustrations.
