    Reviews & endorsements

    "This book really provides a unique and informative combination of 'clinician guides' and 'patient treatment manuals' for clinicians who treat anxious patients. This book goes a long way towards increasing awareness of both the art and science of conducting cognitive-behavioural therapy in clinical settings. It is a state-of-the-art, well-written and easy-to-read text for psychiatrists, clinical psychologists and general practitioners who regularly treat anxious patients." S. Seedat, SAMJ Forum

    "This is a terrific contribution to the field. Its unique structure, designed for both clinician and patient, is a real asset. Because the anxiety disorders are among the most common of psychiatric disturbances, this book should be used by any clinician who treats patients with these syndromes." William Miles, Doody's Notes

    "[A] well referenced resource book and treatment guide..." ADAA Reporter (the Anxiety Disorders Association of America)

    "[An] unusual, clearly written book...grounded in an extensive literature..." Bulletin of the Menniger Clinic

    "I enjoyed reading this book. It provided clinically relevant information along with an in depth guide to developing a structured treatment plan. This book will appeal to those with an educational background and training in treating mental health disorders in the outpatient setting. The content in the treatment manual is designed for adult patients. However, Anxiety disorders have an early onset and are known to be a common clinical condition in the child and adolescent out-patient population. The treatment manual in this book can be easily modified and adapted to reflect the specific developmental needs of our young patients." - Dr. N. Sundaralingam MB BS FRCPC, Whitby, Ontario
