Mastery of Your Anxiety and Panic Therapist Guide

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.
