The Big Book of Exposures: Innovative, Creative, and Effective CBT-Based Exposures for Treating Anxiety-Related Disorders [Standard Large Print 16 Pt Edition]

by Kristen S. Springer, David F. Tolin

Overview

In cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exposures are the gold standard for treating anxiety related disorders, including obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic, and phobias. However, clients are often resistant or fearful when starting treatment, and, as a result, even therapists can develop ''exposure phobia.'' In The Big Book of Exposures two anxiety specialists provide 400 creative, innovative, and easy-to-implement exposure exercises to help clients-and clinicians-move past their fears, energize treatment sessions, and improve client outcomes.
