Several recent studies have found that anxiety is increasing among
college students. In today's competitive college environment,
students frequently find themselves overwhelmed with worry and
anxiety as they struggle to make the grade academically, fit in
socially, "discover who they are," and ponder their futures. This
book helps students (and their parents and counselors) deal
effectively with predictable anxieties associated with college. The
authors offer suggestions and techniques, based on extensive
research on the treatment of anxiety, to help students cope more
effectively with the common sources of anxiety. In addition, the
book describes the most common and debilitating disorders of
anxiety (such as panic attacks, phobias, and obsessive-compulsive
disorder) that affect more than 10% of Americans and most
frequently have their onset during the college years. The initial
section of the book begins by describing the scope of the problem
of anxiety as it relates to college students. The next section
discusses the nature of anxiety reactions, noting the contribution
of factors such as biological predisposition and developmental
factors. Finally, the third section provides general strategies for
managing anxiety such as doing relaxation exercises, challenging
negative thoughts and perspectives, and facing fears. Vignettes
about college students dealing with anxiety are included
throughout.
