Welcome to the BOL Forum on Anxiety Disorders

I am happy to announce that Georg Eifert is the new host of the BOL Forum on Anxiety Disorders. Dr. Eifert is an important contributor to research and practice in this area. His work is focussed mainly on the role of affect, predictability, and control perceptions in panic and phobias.

I also want to acknowledge Barbara Fleming, who founded this forum in 1996 and served as its host until now. BOL is grateful for Dr. Fleming's very substantial contributions to the work of Behavior OnLine and I am delighted that she has agreed to continue to serve as a Consulting Editor.

I invite you to join in on this discussion. As background, you may want to view Dr. Eifert's biographical sketch. I will be here too as will Gil Levin, Behavior OnLine's Editor and Publisher. Questions about using the forum software are best addressed to me on the General Forum.

I am glad you found your way here and I look forward to our discussion. I would suggest you please start a new thread rather than simply replying to this message. Thanks.

With my best regards,
John Grohol
Associate Editor
