The Anxiety Expert: A Psychiatrist's Story of Panic
Marjorie Raskin began doing psychiatric research while a resident at New York State Psychiatric Institute. After her own Panic Disorder came into full bloom, she started her studies of anxiety and panic at University of California Medical Center. She set up U.C.'s first Anxiety Clinic. Her most important finding was the connection of emotional abuse and neglect in childhood with Panic Disorder in the adult. She continued her anxiety work after moving back to New York, first at Mt. Sinai Medical Center, and later at Queens Hospital Center. She established Anxiety Clinic at both hospitals. She studied writing at The New School and Sarah Lawrence.
