One of the hallmarks of generalized anxiety disorder, along with
diffuse pathological worry and somatic complaints, is its
resistance to therapy. Of available treatment modalities for GAD,
cognitive-behavioral therapy garners the best empirical support in
terms of successful long-term results. Psychological Approaches to
Generalized Anxiety Disorder offers clinicians a wide variety of
CBT strategies to help clients develop core anxiety-reduction
skills, presented so that readers can hone their own clinical
skills.
Concise without skimping on information, this book reviews
current theory and research, addresses important diagnostic issues,
and provides salient details in these key areas: Assessment
procedures and treatment planning; Latest therapy outcome data,
including findings on newer therapies; Specific CBT techniques,
including cognitive strategies, psychoeducation, anxiety
monitoring, relaxation exercises, and more; Dealing with
noncompliance, client ambivalence, and other challenges to therapy;
Special considerations for treating older adults with GAD; Relapse
prevention, transition issues, and ending treatment.
Psychological Approaches to Generalized Anxiety Disorder has
much information of interest to new and seasoned clinicians,
clinical researchers, and academic psychologists. It is also an
especially valuable reference for graduate students treating or
studying the anxiety spectrum.
