Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Anxiety disorders are the number one mental health problem among North American women, and second only to substance abuse in men. This comprehensive, step-by-step guide for overcoming panic attacks, phobias, and other anxiety disorders is designed as an accessible self-help manual for those struggling with anxiety, as well as a complete treatment program for use by therapists. First published in 1990, The Anxiety & Phobia Workbook has sold 98,000 copies and become the most used and recommended work on the subject among therapists. This revised edition features two new chapters: "Core Fear," dealing with the use of hypnotic regression and eye movement therapy to treat deeply rooted fears, and "Anxiety-Perpetuating Traits," which covers perfectionism, the need for control, and the need for approval.
On cover: Simple, concise, step-by-step directions for mastery of relaxation, exercise, coping with panic, real-life desensitization, overcoming negative self-talk, changing mistaken beliefs, visualization, expressing feelings, assertiveness, self-esteem, nutrition, medication.
