The Anxiety & Phobia Workbook, Fourth Edition

This is a very practical and useful book.

Dismayed

The book is probably great to those that know nothing about any psychological concepts. But most of the information is already out there on the internet or in other psychological books. This is definately not for people who already have done prior research. Many of the ideas like finding your "inner child" seem somewhat implausible to me.

A Book of Ideas, but not a Cure.

This book offers a wide variety of ideas and methods for dealing with anxiety and phobias. It gives a good synopsis of medication, the history of treatment, and a couple of chapters on specific issues like personal meaning. Coming from a person who has suffered with performance anxiety, let me tell you, the only effective method for getting over anxiety is talking about it and doing what you fear the most. DO IT AND TALK ABOUT IT. IT WILL SUCK, but after you do it, you will feel better.
