Anxiety as symptom and signal
Steven P. Roose, Robert A. Glick
1995
Roose and Glick explore anxiety not as a singular pathology, but as a complex symptom arising from underlying psychological conflicts and a signal of unaddressed emotional needs. Drawing on psychoanalytic principles and the Balint group model, they delineate how anxiety manifests in individual and group therapy, offering clinical insights for understanding and treating its diverse presentations. The text emphasizes the importance of recognizing anxiety's communicative function to facilitate deeper therapeutic exploration and resolution.
