Psychological approaches to generalized anxiety disorder: a clinician's guide to assessment and treatment

Of available treatment modalities for GAD, cognitive-behavioral therapy garners the best empirical support in terms of successful long-term results. Psychological Approaches to Generalized Anxiety Disorder offers clinicians a wide variety of CBT strategies to help clients develop core anxiety-reduction skills, presentedso that readers can hone their own clinical skills. Concise without skimping on information, this book reviews current theory and research, addresses important diagnostic issues, and provides salient details. Covers both a broad overview of background research and prominent theories, as well as taking an in-depth look at specific cognitive behavioral techniques in enough detail for clinicians to incorporate these techniques into their practice INDICE: Diagnosis, Clinical Features, and Theoretical Perspectives.-GAD Treatment Research.-Assessment Procedures and Treatment Planning.-Psychoeducation and Anxiety Monitoring.-Relaxation Strategies.-Cognitive Strategies.-Behavior Therapy and Exposure Strategies.-Common Problems and Clinical Considerations
