Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Anxiety disorders represent the more prevalent mental health problem across cultures and ages. Today there are a vast scientific production about this topic. Nevertheless, several problems still remain. This SI this SI intends to address some of these problems, in a double sense. (i) A body of knowledge exists on the neurobiological bases of anxiety and fear, and their implications for the conceptualization, diagnosis, and treatment of anxiety disorders. A first line would go towards contributions that are directed towards knowledge about these neurobiological bases and their clinical implications. (ii) The psychological processes involved in the appearance, development and consolidation of anxiety disorders have also been the subject of detailed investigation. These contributions have led to the development of different explanatory models. However, these models remain insufficient. This second line would go towards the search for contributions on psychological aspects in learning, consolidation and psychological treatment of anxiety problems.
According these two main lines, this SI will be shared with two journals: Life journal (for predominant neurobiological contributions), and Psycho journal (for predominant psychological contributions).
