Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Professional therapist Dumont writes for those millions of people whose lives are being "blighted by irrational fears." Whether a person suffers from some unnamed terror, an incapacitating anxiety, or a behavior they can't stop, Dumont believes that all are victims of "magic thinking," in which a conclusion has been formed without a rational thought process. She details this type of thinking and how it can come to dominate people's lives. Case studies of sufferers are presented, including a woman who experiences panic attacks in public places; a man terrified of driving over bridges; and a teenage boy who stops eating for fear of being poisoned. The last section gives pragmatic advice for recognizing fallacious thinking and setting both short-term and long-range goals to relieve these debilitating reactions. This book should also be quite helpful for those trying to aid someone with these problems. Brian McCombie --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Valerie Raskin, M.D.
A warm, informative and practical book. . . . Eminently useful to anxiety sufferers and therapists alike.
