Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Nicholas Greco IV, MS, BCETS, CATSM(Abbott Laboratories)
Description: This workbook provides the latest advances in anxiety treatment that are solidly based in empirical research and provide readers with not only the knowledge, but also the confidence to overcome their anxiety.
Purpose: The purpose is to help those with anxiety learn the most widely studied and accepted techniques used by mental health professionals for helping people overcome problems of extreme anxiety. Considering that anxiety disorders are the most common disorder, this is a welcome addition to the field.
Audience: Those suffering from anxiety disorders will benefit the most from this book, as it is not only easy to read and understand, but also quite affordable. This would be an excellent companion in psychotherapy as well as a strong teaching tool in graduate school. The authors bring extensive experience, and this clearly is demonstrated in their workbook.
Features: The standout feature of the book is that it can be used in any way one is comfortable. Readers are not tied to any one chapter, yet there are helpful chapters such as chapter 12 on overcoming treatment obstacles and chapter 13 on living without anxiety. The authors discuss a wide array of treatments including relaxation, meditation, medications, herbal remedies, cognitive-behavioral treatments, and psychoeducation. The book is empowering, not overwhelming or overbearing.
Assessment: This is a wonderful compendium of the latest advances in the field for anxiety disorders, written specifically for those suffering with anxiety. It is a great example of a well-written workbook aimed directly at patient-empowerment and education.
Annals of Clinical Psychiatry

It is informative, written in a highly readable style, and contains a lot of useful and practical strategies, including many tables/diaries for patients'' use. I believe that a clinician treating patients with anxiety disorders, regardless of role, could/should recommend this book to his or her patients. It would be a great complement to treatment that will help patients understand and handle anxiety....The book is definitely worth buying and recommending to all of your anxious patients."--Annals of Clinical Psychiatry
