Exposure Treatments for Anxiety Disorders

Johan Rosqvist

2005

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.

Anxiety and Mood Disorders Following Traumatic Brain Injury

Rudi Coetzer

2010

While there are many excellent texts addressing cognitive impairment and behavioural difficulties and on rehabilitation associated with traumatic brain injury, few textbooks specifically address the most common emotional problems that can have such an adverse effect on rehabilitation and outcome. Uniquely this book deals exclusively with the identification and psychotherapeutic management of mood and anxiety disorders after traumatic brain injury. Furthermore, a systematic approach to identifying and diagnosing anxiety and mood disorders is followed throughout the text. As well as providing an introduction to anxiety and mood disorders after traumatic brain injury, it provides a psychological perspective on their evolution and management. It is aimed at a range of professionals in training (or those responsible for providing training in psychopathology, neuropsychology and psychotherapy), as well as those who may have an interest in working with the type of patients with anxiety or depression, commonly seen in post-acute brain injury rehabilitation settings. Case studies, summaries and suggested references for further reading are used throughout to facilitate understanding and teaching where relevant.

Sustainable happiness

Steve Schermer, John Woods

2012

Today’s greatest health challenges, the so-called diseases of civilization—depression, trauma, obesity, cancer—are now known in large part to reflect our inability to tame stress reflexes gone wild and to empower instead the peaceful, healing and sociable part of our nature that adapts us to civilized life. The same can be said of the economic challenges posed by the stress-reactive cycles of boom and bust, driven by addictive greed and compulsive panic. As current research opens up new horizons of stress-cessation, empathic intelligence, peak performance, and shared happiness, it has also encountered Asian methods of self-healing and interdependence more effective and teachable than any known in the West. Sustainable Happiness is the first book to make Asia’s most rigorous and complete system of contemplative living, hidden for centuries in Tibet, accessible to help us all on our shared journey towards sustainable well-being, altruism, inspiration and happiness.

The courage to be

Paul Tillich

1952

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. In this enriched edition, we have carefully created added value for your reading experience: - A succinct Introduction situates the work's timeless appeal and themes. - The Synopsis outlines the central plot, highlighting key developments without spoiling critical twists. - A detailed Historical Context immerses you in the era's events and influences that shaped the writing. - A thorough Analysis dissects symbols, motifs, and character arcs to unearth underlying meanings. - Reflection questions prompt you to engage personally with the work's messages, connecting
