"In this book, the authors review psychosocial treatments for anxiety disorders, focusing on the scientific basis and demonstrated outcomes of the treatments. Cognitive behavioral therapies are highlighted, as they have been the most frequently investigated approaches to treating anxiety disorders. Individual chapters feature specific phobias, social phobia, panic disorder and agoraphobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder.

The book is rich in clinical material and integrates science and clinical practice in an effort to help practitioners to improve the effectiveness of their work with anxious clients."--BOOK JACKET.
