Panic is not a single state with only one set of feelings and predictable emotions. The essays and articles in this book span various disciplines—psychology, medicine, literature, and history—tied together by the common thread of panic, including how it is manifested in culture, tradition, and experience, and its differing treatments. Included are original as well as previously published writings by Peter A. Levine, Paul Pitchford, and Kim Newman.

"Panic: Origins, Insight, and Treatment scopes out broad and seldom explored realms. It may be a beginning in mapping out that vital territory, a critical need in these uncertain and turbulent times."

Learning about Panic Attacks,
This review is from: Panic: Origins, Insight, and Treatment (Paperback)
This book is well organized and easy to use as a reference. Each chapter has a different author.The topics are varied and well presented. The text is easy to read. The chapters on the body approaches to working with panic were the most interesting for me. I also would point out that after some chapters a listing called "end notes" is included whch provides the reader with sources of further information, and in a few instances a way to contact the author of a given article.

Panic,
By Carrie (Laguna Niguel, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Panic: Origins, Insight, and Treatment (Paperback)
This book was awesome. I have been looking all over for a well developed book on the topic of panic. Now I understand what my brother's panic attacks are all about and can hopefully find a way to cope with him!
