Book Description

MAP-3 is a systematic cognitive-behavioral program, which uses behavioral self-monitoring to increase awareness of circumstances that trigger panic symptoms. Clients take part in breathing retraining and muscle relaxation training, learn how to decatastrophize through actual prediction testing, and discover how to lessen fearfulness through exposure to feared sensation in safe settings.

MAP-3 program revisions are based on feedback from clinicians using the MAP-II program as a clinical tool for treating anxiety, panic, and agoraphobia. Revisions reflect cutting-edge knowledge and empirical findings.

Why This Title
 Offers a deeper exploration of the origins of anxiety and panic
 Includes recent findings on the integration of medication and treatment
 Explains the interrelationship of thoughts and feelings

This review is from: Mastery of Your Anxiety and Panic (MAP-3): Client Workbook for Agoraphobia (Treatments That Work) (Paperback)

It is unbelievable how a person who suffers from panic and anxiety struggles to get the most appropriate help. An expert referred me to MAP and after 5 weeks into the program, i feel THIS is the real deal. Just make sure you get the correct MAP books. ISBN numbers might be helpfull: for anxiety and panic see Oxford isbn 0-19-518697-4; for agoraphobia try Oxford isbn 0-19-518696-6.

This review is from: Mastery of Your Anxiety and Panic (MAP-3): Client Workbook for Agoraphobia (Paperback)

As a clinican and also a short-term learner in Barlow's center, I've witnessed how the panic control therapy has been tested vigorously in the centre, and also saw how the client had been benefitted from the panic control therapy. This workbook, together with the therapist's handbook, can give the reader essential guideline in using PCT for panic patients. I've made a lot of reference to this in treating panic patients in my clinical setting.
