Abstract
Adequate assessment is integral to both clinical work and research on anxiety. Historically, assessment strategies differed between research and clinical prac tice. Quantitative, empirical evaluation using standardized measures was the domain of research, while more limited, idiosyncratic subjective assessments were customary in clinical practice. It is now becoming increasingly evident that idiosyncratic and standardized measurements of anxiety are important to both clinicians and researchers. First, there is more demand for accountability. Whether documenting the need for treatment to third party payers, substantiating treatment gains to funding agencies, or providing empirical dependent measures in research, objective data are increasingly more important.
