The Treatment of Anxiety Disorders

In this completely revised second edition of their well-received book, Gavin Andrews and his team continue to draw upon the materials and methods that they have used successfully in clinical practice for 15 years. Over half the material in this edition is new, and an entirely new section covering post-traumatic stress disorder has been included. This is an unique and authoritative overview of the recognition and treatment of anxiety disorders, giving Clinician Guides and Patient Treatment Manuals for each. The Treatment of Anxiety Disorders offers both a theoretical overview and a framework to help psychiatrists and clinical psychologists build successful treatment programs.
