This state is described as one of generalised anxiety.What can be done when feelings of anxiety become so recurrent and so intense? Why do the tactics that are spontaneously used in such cases prove to be useless and, even, counter-productive? What are the best responses for the chronic sufferer from anxiety? What can be done so that he or she fieds some peace and tranquility of mied?Évelyne Mollard is a psychologist practising within a unit for the treatment of anxiety in Lyon's Neurology Hospital. She teaches at the University of Lyon I.
