For many years, cognitive-behavioral techniques have been at the
forefront of treatment for anxiety disorders. More recently,
strategies rooted in Eastern concepts of acceptance and mindfulness
have have demonstrated some promise in treating anxiety, especially
in tandem with CBT. Now, with Acceptance-Based Behavioral Therapies
for Anxiety, thirty expert clinicians and researchers present a
comprehensive guide to integrating these powerful complementary
approaches where they match, when they differ, and why they work so
well together.
Chapter authors clearly place mindfulness and acceptance into
the clinical lexicon, establishing links with established
traditions, including emotion theory and experiential therapy. In
addition, separate chapters discuss specific anxiety disorders, the
current state of treatment for each, and practical ways of
integrating acceptance and mindfulness approaches into therapy.
Book Reviews:
"Orsillo and Roemer are true scientist-practitioners with their
broad and deep knowledge of cognitive behavioral concepts and their
years of applying these concepts to relieve suffering from anxiety.
In this book they take us to the cutting-edge of new psychological
approaches to anxiety disorders. Every clinician will want to be
aware of these latest advances."

"Few others could make the case for acceptance and
mindfulness-based care of anxiety disorders as well as Orsillo and
Roemer have done. Tacking deftly between innovation and empirical
science this book shows how traditional anxiety treatments,
supplemented by acceptance and mindfulness practices, can achieve
an expanded scope of relevance and efficacy. Their careful
operationalization and description of these practices along with a
few caveats regarding this nascent union, enables the reader to
navigate comfortably in novel territory. Ideal for therapists,
researchers and students the material presented in this book will
likely form the backbone of the next generation of treatment for
complex anxiety disorders"

"In their innovative work toward a more complete understanding
of the etiology and treatment of anxiety disorders, and in their
special concern for those patients who do not respond to existing
treatments, Drs Roemer and Orsillo have led the field into new
territory. In the past ten years, the integration of
mindfulness-based approaches into existing psychological systems
and therapies has been both informing and challenging for each side
of the meeting. This timely book contains a useful summary of the
many facets of this conversation, including the differing
approaches to mindfulness and its use in clinical systems. It
provides an excellent description of the development and
progression of CBT approaches to the treatment of anxiety disorders
and cogently presents the case for the natural progression of the
integration of mindfulness and acceptance-based approaches into
this field."
