In the past several years, substantial progress has been made in developing relatively efficient and seemingly effective brief psychosocial treatments for anxiety disorders. Knowledge has advanced along both biological and psychological fronts, although the greater effort has been put into understanding the neurobiological basis of anxiety disorders and developing appropriate, effective pharmacological treatment. Nevertheless, psychological knowledge has also advanced, and a more recent trend is to integrate psychological and biological advances at the level of psychopathology and treatment. The author highlights recent developments in understanding the psychological basis of two anxiety disorders: panic disorder and social phobia. He then describes psychosocial treatment protocols for these disorders that have been developed at the Center for Stress and Anxiety Disorders at the State University of New York at Albany, and reviews data on their effectiveness.
在过去几年中，在为焦虑症开发相对高效且看似有效的简短心理社会治疗方法方面取得了重大进展。在生物学和心理学领域都有了知识的进步，尽管更多的努力投入到了理解焦虑症的神经生物学基础以及开发合适、有效的药物治疗上。然而，心理学知识也有所进步，最近的一个趋势是在精神病理学和治疗层面整合心理学和生物学的进展。作者重点介绍了在理解两种焦虑症（惊恐障碍和社交恐惧症）的心理基础方面的最新进展。然后，他描述了纽约州立大学奥尔巴尼分校压力与焦虑症中心针对这些疾病制定的心理社会治疗方案，并回顾了有关其有效性的数据。
