Never has our culture been more aware of personal and global
health hazards, from both within and without. While most people may
feel some anxiety in this regard, some have an unbearable sense of
dread that prevents them from functioning.
Chronic health anxiety heightened fears of illness, disease, and
death is a central feature of hypochondriasis, of course, but can
also present as depression, generalized anxiety disorder, OCD, and
other diagnoses. Treating Health Anxiety offers the professional
reader not only an understanding of this condition, but also an
easily implemented cognitive/behavioral program for reducing fear
of illness, overcoming the fear of death, and getting more
enjoyment from life, including:
-Step-by-step coverage of the assessment process and therapy
sessions
-Patient worksheets and self-monitoring forms
-Specific guidelines for treating health anxiety in children and
the elderly
-Strategies for handling impasses and setbacks
-Up-to-date guide to pharmacotherapy for health anxiety.
As media attention to health issues increases, client fears of
illness won t go away any time soon. Treating Health Anxiety gives
prescribing and non-prescribing clinicians (as well as the
counselors and social workers who encounter the problem) the tools
to reduce both the fears and the medical costs that so often
accompany them."
