Description:

This practical guide meets the need of non-psychologists in primary care, who frequently see patients with anxiety states in their practice. Dr Kennerley shows how to teach patients self-help psychological skills to control their anxiety, avoiding the need to resort to treatment with tranquillizers with their potential problems of side-effects and physical dependence. Well presented with many caes studies, this new book takes into account all the developments inpsychological care of patients in general practice that have occurred in the five years since publication of the first edition.

Synopsis:

This book sets out an alternative psychological approach to anxiety states which has been demonstrated to be as effective as drug therapy, while being no more expensive to use. The approach involves teaching self-help skills to anxious individuals so that they can take control of their own anxiety symptoms. This practical guide provides clear guidelines for anxiety or stress management for a wide range of disorders. It is appropriate for use by psychologists and non-psychologists, and is suitable for trainees and fully qualified health or occupational professionals alike. The new edition contains more comprehensive client information sheets to promote self-help. Also, the scope of book has been broadened to include new sections on post-traumatic stress disorder and executive stress or burnout for therapist guidance and self-help sections on assertiveness and time management.
