Cognitive Behavioral Workbook for Anxiety

Outstanding manual that offers a comprehensive approach to change that covers the major areas of anxiety. Uniquely emphasizes the links between anxiety and common co-occurring conditions, such as procrastination and indecision. The book shows how to combat anxiety cognitions, build emotional tolerance, use imagery for relaxation, engage in problem-solving behaviors, and apply tested techniques for solving more than one emotional problem simultaneously. It features self-contracts at the end of each chapter to reinforce change. * Janet Wolfe, PhD, former executive director of the Albert Ellis Institute and staff psychologist for thirty-five years, as well as author or coauthor of multiple books, including What to Do When He Has a Headache *
This book is brilliant! Scientifically sound, user-friendly, compassionate, and deeply understanding of the anxiety disorders—I will insist that many of my patients read it. In fact, regular use of Knaus’s workbook may actually shorten the length of time required for some anxiety sufferers to remain in therapy. * Barry Lubetkin, PhD, ABPP, director and founder of the Institute for Behavior Therapy, New York City *
Knaus has an amazing capacity to simplify and clarify complex scientific ideas and to incorporate them into an accessible, pragmatic text. This workbook can greatly benefit lay people afflicted with excessive anxiety and commonly associated disturbances. He has added a section on meditative practices, which greatly enhances the appeal and utility of this workbook. I recommend it heartily. * Joseph Gerstein, MD, FACP, founding president of the SMART Recovery Self-Help Network *
