This book examines personality characteristics related to generalized anxiety disorder, also known as neurotic anxiety. It offers a textbook-levelexplorationof psychopathologywith easy-to-understand examples and encouraging dialogue. Just as many biological symptoms (e.g., pain, fever, sweating) serve various functions, the book investigates an intriguing question: What if anxiety symptoms aren't merely the effect of some cause, but also personality-based and purposeful means to achieve goals?
