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.
