Description
Now in its fifth edition, Mastery of Your Anxiety and Panic, Therapist Guide provides practitioners with the tools necessary to deliver effective treatment for panic disorder and agoraphobia. Reflecting the most up-to-date research on etiology and treatment, as well as cutting-edge scientific information on inhibitory learning, this guide provides step-by-step instructions for teaching clients the skills to overcome their fear of panic and panic attacks, as well as techniques for addressing atypical and problematic responses. The program is organized by skill, enabling therapists to tailor treatment to individual clients, and case vignettes illustrate how panic disorder presents differently in clients-and how therapists can respond accordingly. The book also includes a chapter on adapting the treatment for effective delivery in 6 sessions within primary care and related settings. Written in accessible language aimed at facilitating comprehension and easy implementation, and complete with worksheets and activities to support learning, this Therapist Guide is a gold-standard one-of-a-kind resource that has been recommended for use by public health services around the world.

Clear, concise, and user-friendly, the 5th edition of the Therapist Guide is now infused with the recently developed inhibitory learning approaches to enable therapists to maximize effectiveness of the exposure procedures in the Workbook. I strongly urge all therapists using the Workbook to follow this new Guide. * Ricks Warren, PhD, ABPP, Clinical Professor, Department of Psychiatry, University of Michigan Medical School *
The authors have updated this classic text with new research, an enhanced emphasis on inhibitory learning, and new and improved case material.This new edition pays more attention to variability in how fast or slow a client is able move through the treatment, improving the patient-treatment match.The end result facilitates implementation for the user and is in a way like having a personal supervision experience with the authors. * Peter Roy-Byrne, MD, Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry, University of Washington School of Medicine *
These volumes are indisputably the finest evidence-based books for helping people overcome panic disorder.
