About the Book

Specific phobia is the most commonly occurring anxiety disorder with approximately 12.5% of the general population reporting at least one specific phobia during their lives. People may fear heights, flying, spiders, blood, water, and any other number of circumscribed objects or situations. Research has shown the most effective treatment for these fears and phobias is an exposure-based, cognitive-behavioural program. Written by renowned researchers, this Therapist Guide provides you with all the information you need to help your clients ease their anxiety and conquer their fears. Whether they are afraid of dentists, dogs, or driving, you can teach your clients the necessary skills to overcome their phobia in as little as a few weeks. The strategies outlined in this book include exposure exercises and cognitive restructuring techniques. The corresponding Workbook includes blank forms and records for tracking progress and allows the client to extend the therapeutic experience outside of the office. Together, both books form a comprehensive package that has proven to be the most effective and successful treatment available for specific phobia.

Review :
"This is an excellent pair of books in what I imagine, given Barlow's expertise, experience, and track record, will be a very good series. The pairing of a therapist guide and companion workbook sets the series apart from previous texts that have provided either practitioner guidebooks or self-help manuals."--PsycCRITIQUES "The Therapist Guide is a good, well-written accompaniment to the wrokbook, providing the therapist with the latest research and treatment rationale to help develop effective treatment plans for individuals wishing to overcome their specific phobias."--CBT Today "The book covers a wide spectrum of fears and phobias, and are grouped in a way that reflects the heterogeneity among specific phobias... Both the Therapist Guide and the accompanying Client Workbook are user-friendly in terms of layout and comprehensibility of content. Time is taken to introduce the evidence-base for the efficacy of cognitive behaviour techniques in the treatment of fears and phobias; this supplies the therapist with knowledge and confidence in this form of treatment."--Institute of Psychiatry, Kings College London "
