Description
This edition of Mastery of Your Anxiety and Panic: Brief Six-Session Version for Primary Care and Related Settings, Workbook, outlines a time-limited treatment for those dealing with panic disorder and agoraphobia. Developed for use with patients who seek treatment from a primary care provider, this guide is based on the principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). The program described can be delivered by a general practitioner or other health or mental health care provider in primary care or related settings in up to six sessions. A modified version of the more intensive 12-session version of the program, this treatment represents an introduction to the skills and techniques that have been proven effective for overcoming panic disorder, and that patients can easily learn and continue on their own.

Reviews
This brief six session treatment of panic disorder has been shown to be effective in primary care settings when administered by behavioral health specialists. As most patients with panic attacks first contact their primary care providers, use of this evidence-based manual can avoid years of struggling to get an accurate diagnosis and the most effective evidence-based treatment. This brief version is likely to be used in other settings where a longer treatment may not be feasible. I enthusiastically recommend this manual for every primary care facility and other settings where a brief treatment is warranted. * Ricks Warren, PhD, ABPP, Clinical Professor, Department of Psychiatry, University of Michigan Medical School *
This suite of therapist manuals and patient workbooks, focusing on cutting edge CBT treatment for panic disorder, remains a classic in the field. The authors are internationally renowned for their expertise in this area and have updated the text with new research, an enhanced emphasis on inhibitory learning to inform the process and conduct of exposure exercises, and new and improved case material. Starting with the previous version, the program 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 *
The Mastery of Your Anxiety and Panic volumes - the therapist guide and the workbooks for clients - are indisputably the finest evidence-based books for helping people overcome panic disorder. The workbooks for clients, including one suitable for primary care settings, are engaging, informative, and devoid of jargon, rendering them ideal for anyone struggling with panic attacks. * Richard J. McNally, PhD, Professor of Psychology and Director of Clinical Training, Harvard University *
