In "The Courage to Be," Paul Tillich explores the existential struggle of human beings faced with anxiety and despair in a contemporary world. Written in a compelling prose that intertwines philosophy and theology, Tillich employs a rich tapestry of literary allusions and personal insights to articulate his exploration of courage as a means of affirming one's existence. The book is rooted in the context of post-World War II existential thought, addressing the profound disillusionment of an era while arguing that true courage arises from the confrontation with one's own limitations and the acceptance of the inherent uncertainties of life. Paul Tillich, a noted philosopher and theologian, significantly influenced 20th-century thought with his synthesis of existentialism and Christian philosophy. His own experiences as a refugee and his deep engagement with the crises of modern life led him to emphasize the importance of courage in the face of ultimate concerns. Tillich's rich academic background, including his involvement with various religious and philosophical communities, enriches the text with depth and relevance. I highly recommend "The Courage to Be" to readers seeking an insightful examination of courage in the context of anxiety and faith. Its profound insights and philosophical rigor not only resonate with personal struggles but also encourage a thoughtful engagement with life's existential questions.

Exposure Treatments for Anxiety Disorders is a unique volume, as it draws together the latest research on the rapidly-expanding field of anxiety disorders and illuminates how to correctly apply the proven methodology of behavioral therapy techniques to the variety of situations that face today's mental health professional. That said, cognitive therapy has in the last 10 years gotten increased attention as an alternative to behavior therapy in the treatment of anxiety disorders. But while it is gaining acceptance among practitioners, cognitive therapy has yet to illustrate substantial benefits above those that behavior therapy can already provide. In light of the aforementioned, coupled with the pressure many practitioners feel from managed care paradigms and shrinking healthcare coverage, this book will be a welcome resource allowing for increased clarity of action, accountability, and ultimately, positive client outcome. Each chapter is designed to address pivotal aspects in the assessment, formulation and diagnosis, and treatment of anxiety disorders, to a sufficient depth that the generalist practitioner will be comfortable using this book as a guide when working with the anxiety disordered client.
