The fifth edition of Mastery of Your Anxiety and Panic, Workbook, has been fully revised and updated to offer helpful, scientifically proven strategies and techniques for dealing with both panic disorder and agoraphobia. The program outlined is based on the principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and is organized by skill, with each chapter building on the one before it. The Workbook covers the importance of record-keeping and monitoring progress, as well as breathing techniques and thinking skills, with the main focus of the treatment involving the importance of learning how to face agoraphobic situations, and the often-frightening physical symptoms of panic, from an entirely new perspective. Self-assessment quizzes, homework exercises, and interactive forms allow clients to become active participants in their own treatment, and to learn to manage panic attacks, anxiety about panic, and avoidance of panic and agoraphobic situations.
I had the good fortune of being one of the first groups of therapists to receive training in the delivery of PCT from Drs. Barlow and Craske at The State University of New York at Albany. I used the first version and each of the editions in my private practice and published evidence of its effectiveness in a private practice setting. The fourth edition is currently used in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Michigan for training therapists and in our clinical work. This 5th edition contains all the state of the art and user-friendly format, but importantly, it now integrates an inhibitory learning focus to maximize the effectiveness of the exposure procedures. I enthusiastically welcome this new edition of this state-of-the-art treatment of panic disorder and agoraphobia.
