This
book
excels
not only
in
explaining
the
cause
and
nature
of
anxiety
disorders
and
phobias
but also
in
describing
treatments.
Director
of the
Anxiety
Treatment
Center
in Santa
Rosa
(California),
Bourne
emphasizes
the
cognitive-behavioral
model of
treatment
but
includes
information
on
biopsychiatry,
intense
psychotherapy,
and
spirituality
as
additional
treatment
modalities.
This is
truly a
"workbook,"
with
exercises
designed
to
facilitate
recovery,
either
through
private
use or
in
conjunction
with
professional
therapy.
If your
library
already
owns the
1990
edition
and
money is
an
object,
you can
probably
pass on
this
revision,
which
updates
the
definitions
of
anxiety
and
phobia
so that
they
conform
with the
new
DSM-IV
diagnostic
criteria
and
includes
new
information
on the
biological
causes
of
anxiety
and
related
treatment
developments.
