Exposure Therapy refers to any clinical intervention in which a
client directly confronts a source of fear. Since high levels of
anxiety can not be maintained indefinitely, repeated exposure leads
to decreased anxiety. This type of treatment is effective with
phobias, post traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive
disorders, panic, generalized anxiety, and several other disorders.
It's also been found to be effective in helping to treat substance
abuse. Although exposure-based treatments have been extensively
researched and reported in the literature, there is no single
comprehensive treatment of exposure therapies. Writings tend to be
limited to larger pieces on treating specific disorders or types of
patients. A comprehensive book on the use of these treatments
across patient disorders will be of great use to practitioners.
The book is divided into three sections: Foundation, Applications,
and Issues. Foundation chapters considers theoretical and
assessment issues. Applications chapters will discuss research
literature on each disorder having been proven to be successfully
treated with exposure therapy. Issue chapters will discuss
liability issues, false memory syndrome, and the use of computers
and virtual reality in exposure therapy.
*Covers the broad range of exposure therapies in one comprehensive
source
*Provides an integrated look at exposure therapy across a variety
of disorders
*Each such chapter will include a case study
*Blends literature review and practice guidelines
