This highly practical manual provides evidence-based tools and techniques for assessing and treating clients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Proven cognitive-behavioral interventions are described in rich, step-by-step detail, together with illustrative case examples. With an emphasis on both accountability and flexibility, the clinician is guided to select from available options, weave them into individualized treatment plans, and troubleshoot problems that may arise. For those clients who do not respond well to CBT alone, the book also offers a chapter on cutting-edge supplementary interventions that have shown promise in preliminary clinical trials. Special features include a wealth of reproducible materials-over 25 client handouts and forms, assessment tools, and more-presented in a convenient large-size format.

Review
"This is a valuable treatment guide for clinicians. It provides a good theoretical rationale for developing and utilizing the techniques that are most important. The clear and practical writing is wonderful and the large format will be a great help for using the patient forms."--Robert L. Leahy, PhD, Department of Psychiatry, Weill-Cornell University Medical College
"Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is stubborn and pervasive. Most patients presenting with other emotional disorders also suffer from GAD, and it is an invariant companion to depression. Now Rygh and Sanderson present the most comprehensive and authoritative treatment manual yet published for GAD. These superb clinicians are intimately familiar with the research, and do not lose sight of the difficulties encountered in day-to-day practice. This volume should be on every clinician’s bookshelf."--David H. Barlow, PhD, Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders, Boston University
"Rygh and Sanderson’s book provides a comprehensive description of the empirically supported approaches to GAD, covering both theoretical underpinnings and technical procedures. Numerous clinical vignettes demonstrate how to present clients with the rationale for the various interventions, as well as how to implement them. Therapists will appreciate being able to give clients a variety of handouts and forms designed to support each aspect of treatment. This book will also be an excellent text for graduate students learning to conduct cognitive-behavioral therapy."--Cynthia L. Turk, PhD, Anxiety Treatment and Research Center, La Salle University
"Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is possibly one of the most difficult and treatment-resistant conditions facing the practicing therapist. This book provides the most comprehensive collection of techniques I have seen for managing GAD. It includes new twists on and applications of traditional strategies as well as some of the latest, cutting-edge methods. The clear, detailed descriptions and realistic examples will be welcomed by clinicians from a wide variety of backgrounds."--Ronald M. Rapee, PhD, Macquarie University Anxiety Research Unit and Department of Psychology, Macquarie University, Australia

This review is from: Treating Generalized Anxiety Disorder: Evidence-Based Strategies, Tools, and Techniques (Paperback)
An impressive collaborative effort by Jayne L. Rygh and William C. Sanderson, Treating Generalized Anxiety Disorder is a manual for psychologists, offering tools and techniques for treating generalized anxiety disorder. Offering tested and proven cognitive-behavioral interventions, as well as cutting-edge supplementary interventions for those who do not respond well to cognitive-behavioral therapy alone, Treating Generalized Anxiety Disorder illustrates its techniques with sample doctor-patient conversations, flowcharts, suggested logs and recordkeeping forms for undertaking steps of the therapy, and more. An excellent supplementary resource for brushing up professional techniques to aid those who need help the most, Treating Generalized Anxiety Disorder is recommended for professional and academic library reference collections and supplemental reading lists.
