The Neuropsychology of Anxiety

This is an outstanding updated book summarizing the authors' septo-hippocampal/amygdala theory of anxiety. I highly recommend it.

Jeffrey Gray had an exceptionally distinguished 40 year career in academic psychology, with permanent posts first at Oxford University and subsequently at the Institute of Psychiatry, where he became head of the Department of Psychology and subsequently an emeritus professor. He had an extraordinary breadth of knowledge and interests, and was especially drawn to big issues that were clinically relevant or conceptually challenging. His ability to move readily between different areas of the discipline, coupled with his capacity for sophisticated theorizing, allowed him to make particularly striking contributions to the understanding of anxiety and of schizophrenia, at levels that range from the molecular to the philosophical. He died aged 69 in April 2004. (Nick Rawlins)
