Am J Psychiatry 1997; 154 (Suppl):27-38. This is an interesting development in the conceptualization of anxiety symptoms. The authors present an argument that contrasts with that of Andrews [18], suggesting that the personality vulnerability arises out of symptoms, rather than symptoms arising out of personality vulnerability.
