To identify a book that is a subject overview, search the catalog by keyword or subject. Scan for current lengthy books that discuss all aspects of your topic. Determine this by reviewing the contents note (which lists chapters from the book).

Search the Forest Library Catalog by WORD. Use the term "generalized anxiety disorder*"

The search results will list the most recently published books first.

A good candidate might be the book titled Cognitive-behavioral treatment for generalized anxiety disorder : from science to practice (247 pages -- 2007).
Contents: Description of generalized anxiety disorder -- A cognitive model of generalized anxiety disorder -- Diagnosis and assessment -- Treatment overview -- Step-by-step treatment -- Treatment efficacy -- Addressing complicating factors.
