The Neuropsychology of Anxiety first appeared in 1982 as the first volume in the Oxford Psychology Series, and quickly established itself as the definitive work on the subject. In the many years since the 1st edition, significant advances have been made in the study of anxiety, and much evidence obtained supporting the original theory. The new edition has been extensively revised, considering these recent advances, and laying down the foundations for future research.

Elements of a Two-process Theory of Learning

How does consciousness arise out of the functioning of the human brain? How is consciousness related to the behaviour that it accompanies? How does the world that we perceive relate to the real world? Between them, these three questions constitute what is commonly known as the Hard Problem of consciousness. This major new work from a distinguished scientist presents an accessible and compelling analysis of our conscious lives, with profound implications for human nature. To many, its conclusions will be very surprising.

Creeping Up on the Hard Problem

Consciousness

How does consciousness arise out of the functioning of the human brain? This award winning work presents an accessible and compelling analysis of our conscious lives, with profound implications for human nature.

How do human emotions arise, what functions do they serve, what is their evolutionary background, how do they relate to behaviour and the brain? These questions are put, and answered, in relation to the emotion of fear in this, the second edition of professor Gray's extremely well known book, first published in 1971. In this edition, the text has been extensively modified and brought up-to-date, but the book maintains the style and general argument of the first edition. The author's approach in this book is from a biological standpoint; he emphasises the evidence that has accumulated from experiments by psychologists, ethologists, physiologists and endocrinologists. Although a lot of this evidence has been obtained from animal studies, it throws light on the psychology and physiology of fear in Man. Differences between individuals in their susceptibility to fear are treated with as much attention as the common factors are.
