| Abstract | Michelle G. Craske, Dirk Hermans, and Debora Vansteenwegen's Fear and Learning: From Basic Processes to Clinical Implications is a superbly edited text that researchers and clinicians will find valuable. It assembles a cast of leading scholars in fear and learning to present a thorough and updated review of the literature and translate conceptual models into applied strategies for clinical treatment. From the outset, the editors emphasize a necessary fusion of classic and contemporary science to provide readers a rich historical context for the appreciation of fear and learning. The text succeeds in presenting conceptual models of fear and learning with broad implications insofar as explaining people's behaviors—models that are, one could argue, brushed over in many circles because it is distasteful to acknowledge fear as a motivating behavioral entity. This notwithstanding, the conceptual models presented fit, in many respects, with the conceptualization of psychiatric disorders such as posttraumatic stress disorder as well as more benign, subclinical avoidance behaviors that affect a great many of us (and may interfere with optimal social, occupational, or relational functioning). Overall, this text stands out as an excellent resource for students, teachers, researchers, and clinicians alike, but it is not geared toward the casual reader. |
