Concepts are the glue that holds our mental world together.Our concepts embody much of our knowledge of the world, telling us what things there are and what properties they have. It may not seem to be a great intellectual achievement to identify a bulldog or to know what to do with a tomato, but imagine what our lives would be like without such a conceptual ability. We might know the things we had experienced in the past—a particular chair, our bed, the breakfast we had today, our science teacher, etc.

Anxiety, Depression and Emotion by Richard J. Davidson
This unique volume focuses on the relationship between basic research in emotion and emotional dysfunction in depression and anxiety. Each chapter is authored by a highly regarded scientist who looks at both psychological and biological implications of research relevant to psychiatrists and psychologists. And following each chapter is engaging commentary that raises questions, illuminates connections with other bodies of work, and provides points of integration across different research traditions. Topics range from stress, cognitive functioning, and personality to affective style and behavioral inhibition, and the book as a whole has significant implications for understanding and treating anxiety disorders.
