Whether it's dogs, spiders, blood, heights or some other fear,
specific phobias are one of the most prevalent mental health
problems, affecting as many as one in eight people. In recent
years, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) has emerged as
particularly effective in treating young people and adults with
specific phobias. And of these methods, one-session treatment
stands out as a long-lasting, cost-effective intervention of
choice. Intensive One-Session Treatment of Specific Phobias not
only provides a summary of the evidence base, it also serves as a
practical reference and training guide. This concise volume
examines the phenomenology, epidemiology, and etiology of phobias,
laying the groundwork for subsequent discussion of assessment
strategies, empirically sound one-session treatment methods, and
special topics. In addition, expert contributors address challenges
common to exposure therapy, offer age-appropriate guidelines for
treating young clients, and describe innovative computer-assisted
techniques. Organized to be read individually or in sequence,
chapters delve into key areas, including: Evidence-based assessment
and treatment of specific phobias in children, adolescents, and
adults. One-session treatment theory and practice with children,
adolescents, and adults. Handling difficult cases of specific
phobias in youth. Interventions for specific phobias in special
populations. Training and assessing therapists in one-session
treatment. Ethical issues in considering exposure. Intensive
One-Session Treatment of Specific Phobias is an essential resource
for researchers, clinicians, and graduate students in child,
school, clinical, and counseling psychology; social work; and
general and special education.
