Theoverarchingaimofthisbookistoprovideasingleresourcethatoffers currenttheoreticalperspectivesandcuttingeZdgereviewsofscientificresearch onhealthbehaviorsandphysicalillnessinrelationtoanxietyanditsdisorders. A critical analysisof this emerging literature isneeded tohelpmovethis field forward, making this proposed volume timely. The specific objectives of this edited book are to (1) provide a review of the literature on the link between anxiety and certain health behaviors and processes as well as physical illness; (2) present contemporary theories of their co-occurrence and interplay (e.g., onset,maintenance,andrelapse);and(3)provideananalysisofrecentresearch inregardtotherapeuticmodelsfortargetingtheseproblems. Thebookisorganizedintotwogeneralsections.Inthefirstpartofthebook, prototypicalhealthbehaviors–smoking,alcohol,illicitsubstanceuse,exercise, andsleep–arediscussedinrelationtoanxietyanditsdisorders.Inthesecond partofthebook,theassociationbetweenanxietypsychopathologyandphysi- cal health conditions – chronic pain, cardiovascular disease, asthma, HIV/ AIDS – and their treatment are covered. In this same section, the potential roleofpubertyandthemenstrualcycleintheonsetandmaintenanceofanxiety psychopathologyarediscussed.

Second, as each v vi Preface contributionmakesclear,thereisuniformevidencethatbothhealthbehaviors andphysicalillnesscan,anddo,affectthenatureofanxietypsychopathology.

Thatis,traditionalinterventionsmaynotbeideallysuitedormaximizeclinical benefitforthispopulation. Forus,thepresentbookofferstheopportunitytoappreciatetheimportance andcomplexityinvolvedwiththestudyofanxietydisorders.Formanyyears, health behaviors and medical illnesses have been a neglected facet of anxiety disorderresearchandpractice.Thecontributionsinthisbookhelpdrivehome the message that such neglect is unwarranted, and that by working to better understand the enigmas between health status and functioning and anxiety psychopathology, significant clinically-relevant strides can likely be achieved. We hope the present book helps move such work forward and bring a better quality of life and reduced morbidity to persons with anxiety disorders in the future.
