Going beyond one-size-fits-all approaches, this indispensable book describes how to design and implement exposure-based interventions for clients suffering from any type of pathological worry or fear. The expert authors translate cutting-edge theory and research into flexible guidelines for real-world clinical practice. They present the nuts and bolts of individualized assessment and treatment planning and offer strategies for engaging clients successfully. Chapters organized around common anxiety triggers feature a wealth of case examples and specific ideas for exposure exercises. Special topics include working with child clients and combining therapy with medication. Several reproducible handouts and forms are provided. This book will be important reading for practitioners and students in clinical psychology, psychiatry, counseling, and social work. It may also serve as a supplemental text in clinically oriented graduate-level courses.
"A comprehensive manual for clinicians detailing the application of exposure therapy in the treatment of a broad range of anxiety problems. The topic is timely, and the book significantly augments the effort to disseminate exposure-based treatments. ... The book serves not only as an evidence-based account of the model and rationale behind exposure therapy, but also as an aid to individualizing treatment according to patient nuances, whether overt or subtle. Written by experts in the field of anxiety, Exposure Therapy for Anxiety is a complete guide to exposure therapy. ... The authors do an excellent job of discussing thorny clinical issues, including the 'judicious' use of safety behaviors and distraction during exposure therapy. ... An invaluable source of reference for any clinician, regardless of experience level." - Michelle Davis and Mark Powers, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Vol. 40, No. 4, 2011, UK "Just another clinical guide to anxiety disorders? Not at all. This broad and clinically nuanced guide is designed for clinicians who want to understand and treat anxiety and fear in all its forms. Rather than approaching the problem from diagnostic categories, this excellent book provides basic guidelines for planning treatment and then helps the clinician design exposures that match the client's specific fear triggers. It explores the challenges and complexities of anxiety treatment and offers clear guidelines and clinical language, to boot. An excellent volume for training students and clinicians at all levels." - Gail Steketee, Boston University School of Social Work, Massachusetts, USA
