✦ Synopsis

A selection of articles that focus on psychosocial treatments, pharmacotherapy, and psychosurgery of anxiety disorders are reviewed. While some medications look clearly beneficial or potentially effective in the treatment of anxiety disorders, other compounds seem less promising or not effective. A combination of proven pharmacotherapies and psychotherapies may be the most clinically prudent approach to the treatment of anxiety disorders. Thermocapsulotomy may be an ''extreme'' option in selected cases of severe nonobsessive anxiety but may carry a significant risk of adverse effects indicative of frontal lobe functioning impairment. In spite of all the research and progress in studying relatively well-defined therapies, many patients suffering from anxiety and depression still use complementary and alternative therapies. The use of alternative and complementary is likely to increase as insurance coverage expands. Depression and Anxiety 19:63-76, 2004.

## A long-standing debate has raged about the relative efficacy of pharmacotherapy and focal psychotherapies (e.g., cognitive and behavioral therapies) in the treatment of panic disorder. Though the controversy continues unabated, data have begun to accumulate which suggest that the focal psychother
