商品描述
The Neuropsychology of Anxiety first appeared in 1982 as the first volume in the Oxford Psychology Series, and it quickly established itself as a classic work in the psychology and neuroscience literature. It presented an innovative, and at times controversial, theory of anxiety and the brain systems, especially the septo-hippocampal system, that subserve it.
This completely updated and revised third edition provides a further updated theory of septo hippocampal function combined with an improved understanding of anxiety. The book includes a new chapter on prefrontal cortex integrating frontal and hippocampal views of anxiety, as well as an extensively modified chapter on personality providing a new basis for further developments of Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory. In addition, numerous figures have been fully updated and converted to colour to support the text.
This book is essential for postgraduate students and researchers in experimental psychology and neuroscience, as well as for all clinical psychologists and psychiatrists.

《焦慮的神經心理學》於1982年首次出版，作為牛津心理學系列的第一卷，迅速成為心理學和神經科學文獻中的經典著作。該書提出了一種創新且有時具爭議性的焦慮理論，並探討了與之相關的腦系統，特別是隔腦-海馬系統。
這一完全更新和修訂的第三版提供了進一步更新的隔腦-海馬功能理論，並結合了對焦慮的改進理解。書中新增了一章關於前額葉皮質的內容，整合了對焦慮的額葉和海馬觀點，還有一章關於人格的廣泛修改，為增強敏感性理論的進一步發展提供了新的基礎。此外，書中多幅圖表已全面更新並轉換為彩色，以支持文本內容。
本書對於實驗心理學和神經科學的研究生及研究人員，以及所有臨床心理學家和精神科醫生來說，都是必不可少的。
作者簡介
Neil McNaughton,
University of Otago, Jeffrey A. Gray,
Deceased Neil McNaughton is Professor of Psychology at the University of Otago and a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand. After a BA (Oxford, 1970), PhD, and 10 years as a Research Associate in the Department of Experimental Psychology at Oxford (with a one-year Royal Society Commonwealth Bursary at the Department of Physiology, UBC, Vancouver), he became a lecturer at Otago in 1982. He has published 200 articles, chapters, and books (H-Index 53). His articles have been cited 13,000 times with a current rate of 800/year; plus 500 citations/year to The Neuropsychology of Anxiety.
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)

尼爾·麥克諾頓是奧塔哥大學的心理學教授，也是紐西蘭皇家學會的院士。在獲得牛津大學的文學士學位（BA，1970年）、博士學位（PhD）後，他在牛津大學實驗心理學系擔任了10年的研究助理（期間曾在溫哥華的英屬哥倫比亞大學生理學系獲得一年的皇家學會英聯邦獎學金），並於1982年成為奧塔哥大學的講師。他已發表200篇文章、章節和書籍（H-Index 53）。他的文章被引用13,000次，目前的引用率為每年800次；此外，《焦慮的神經心理學》（The Neuropsychology of Anxiety）每年也有500次引用。
傑佛瑞·格雷在學術心理學領域擁有卓越的40年職業生涯，最初在牛津大學擔任永久職位，隨後在精神病學研究所（Institute of Psychiatry）工作，並成為心理學系的主任，之後成為名譽教授。他擁有廣泛的知識和興趣，特別關注臨床相關或概念上具有挑戰性的大問題。他能夠在不同的學科領域之間自如地轉換，加上他對複雜理論的理解，使他能夠對焦慮和精神分裂症的理解做出特別突出的貢獻，涵蓋從分子到哲學的各個層面。他於2004年4月去世，享年69歲。（尼克·羅林斯（Nick Rawlins））
