Amazon.com: Treating Generalized Anxiety Disorder: Evidence-Based Strategies, Tools, and Techniques: Jayne L. Rygh, William C. Sanderson: Books

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

"We are in need of good treatment guides for GAD. Fortunately, we have this one now....Designed as a therapist's manual, in the best sense of the word. Clear, highly organized and step wise....Nothing competes with this."--Anxiety Update

"The audience for this manual is very clearly the clinician who is relatively new to cognitive behavioral treatment (CBT) and/or who has limited experience treating anxiety disorders in general, or GAD in particular. This book will also be useful to more experienced clinicians and educators who train others in these areas. The authors have put considerable effort into sifting through the evidence-based literature in combination with their experience to provide an overview of what strategies are effective in the treatment of GAD. They have even extended this perspective to some of the newer variations on CBT by including information on such areas as mindfulness and emotional processing and regulation training. On the whole, Rygh & Sanderson's text is a useful addition to the clinician's library."--Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Book Reviews

"A quick and satisfying read....Reading Treating Generalized Anxiety Disorder gave me a new appreciation of the disorder as something other than just a residual category and of the usefulness of having a variety of documented cognitive and behavioral techniques to address the central problem in the disorder, the avoidance of affect through worry, checking and restricted behavior....This book could help multi- and transdisciplinary teams to come to consensus about interventions for anxiety and depression in primary care....I think it would be useful for clinicians in training, and for "eclectic" clinicians like myself who need a well-founded but brief review of cognitive-behavioral principles and practices to bring us back up to speed on this important modality."--Psychiatric Services

“An impressive collaborative effort....An excellent supplementary resource for brushing up professional techniques to aid those who need help the most,...recommended for professional and academic library reference collections and supplemental reading lists.”--The Midwest Book Review

"...this is one of the most complete treatment guides for GAD available today. User friendly, practical, and ready to implement in daily clinical practice. A definite must-have for all clinicians. Weighted Numerical Score: 92 - 4 Stars!"--Doody's Electronic Journal

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent supplementary resource , December 9, 2004

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

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.
