The new quick reference for understanding anxiety disorders
The Wiley Concise Guides to Mental Health: Anxiety
Disorders uses clear, highly accessible language to
comprehensively guide the reader through the most frequently
diagnosed mental health problem-anxiety-and its related issues.
This concise, informative reference provides a complete history of
the field, conceptualization, assessment, diagnosis, treatment,
cutting-edge research, and other critical information.
Like all the books in the Wiley Concise Guides to Mental
Health Series, Anxiety Disorders features a compact,
easy-to-use format that includes:
* Vignettes and case illustrations
* A practical approach that emphasizes real-life treatment over
theory
* Resources for specific readers such as clinicians, students,
and patients
After discussing the conceptualization and assessment of anxiety
disorders, Anxiety Disorders covers treatment with sections on
client psychoeducation, cognitive tools, in vivo and imaginal
exposure, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques, and
termination and relapse prevention. Additional issues covered
include other treatment approaches; working with children and
adolescents; working in group, family, and couples therapy
settings; supervision; and concerns and challenges for the
clinician. Useful to practitioners as an on-the-shelf resource and
to students as a complete overview, the Wiley Concise Guides to
Mental Health: Anxiety Disorders provides a complete and quick
reference for the diagnosis and treatment of anxiety disorders.
