| | | Since its first edition in 1990, The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook has sold more than 600,000 copies. Its engaging exercises and worksheets have helped millions of readers make real progress in overcoming problems with anxiety and phobic disorders. The Authoritative Guide to Self-Help Resources in Mental Health (Norcross, et al., 2003) gave the book its highest rating and praised it as "a highly regarded and widely known resource." Thousands of mental health and medical professionals recommend this book to their clients and patients every year. Simply put, it is the single finest source of self-help information on its topic available anywhere. The text of this edition has been fully revised and expanded and includes two new chapters on the physical conditions that can aggravate anxiety and the use of mindfulness practice in the treatment of some anxiety disorders. The sections on relaxation, nutrition, and exercise have all been updated and broadened.
Annotation:
This is an impressively thick (400+ pages) workbook that is most thorough in its approach to handling the sensations of panic, phobia, and anxiety. One of the exercises involves keeping a panic attack record for a two-week period, and another how to connect bodily symptoms with catastrophic thoughts. Exercise and relaxation are key, as are recognizing triggers. Key factors to Edmund J. Bourne's approach include: imagery desensitization, real life desensitization, and imagining a specific situation that causes fear and examining the worst possible outcomes. Through workbook exercises one can begin to plan confrontational experiences in advance, bring along a friend, and slowly let go of the need for control. This is a great book to keep around the house and thumb through, full of tests and charts and ways to measure progress. This is part of an invaluable series of anxiety-related books from the author, which includes BEYOND ANXIETY AND PHOBIA and COPING WITH ANXIETY.
