In this second review on research examining psychosocial, cognitive‐behavioral, and basic behavioral research, we focus on recent findings pertaining to: (a) relevant psychological constructs in anxiety, and (b) the treatment of anxiety. We first present several studies in which researchers investigated psychological models or constructs with the aim of enhancing the current understanding of the development and persistence of anxiety. Most of these studies also have implications for the treatment of anxiety disorders. We go on to review studies exploring novel approaches to the treatment of persons with anxiety.
