A wealth of exposures for treating anxiety and related disorders.
"A cornucopia of creative and effective exposure strategies for a range of anxiety disorders...If you are looking for detailed instructions on developing and applying exposures, add this book to your bookshelf." Michael A. Tompkins, PhD. In cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exposures are the gold standard for treating anxiety and anxiety disorders, including obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic, and phobias. However, many clients are apprehensive and avoid exposure therapy for fear of exacerbating their anxiety. Therapists, for this reason, or for fear of possibly breaking the relationship with the client, also do not often use exposure in their practice. So, how can we overcome "exposure phobia" and find a new approach to using this effective but frightening treatment? This book offers hundreds of innovative and easy-to-follow exposure exercises that can be used in a variety of settings and customized to meet the unique needs of clients. It also provides: a comprehensive overview of exposure therapy; the rationale for its use in treating anxiety; tips for dealing with obstacles such as avoidance; and techniques to help clients stay motivated in sessions. With this valuable book, you will learn how to create engaging and enjoyable exposure exercises that will improve treatment outcomes and help clients achieve a higher quality of life. The book is designed for practicing psychotherapists - specialists in CPT and other areas of cognitive therapy, students of the method, psychologists, psychiatrists, and mental health counselors.
