A wide range of research conducted by the Australian Defense Force is offered in this clinical study of managing stress in a high risk environment. Drawn in large part from the experience of soldiers but applicable also to individuals who work in emergency situations, this research considers a number of different settings, including operational deployments, trauma situations, family disruptions, and the day-to-day demands of service life. These findings are presented to improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers under stress, help build resilience, and facilitate coping.

In this completely revised second edition of their well-received book, Gavin Andrews and his team continue to draw upon the materials and methods that they have used successfully in clinical practice for 15 years. Over half the material in this edition is new, and an entirely new section covering post-traumatic stress disorder has been included. This is an unique and authoritative overview of the recognition and treatment of anxiety disorders, giving Clinician Guides and Patient Treatment Manuals for each. The Treatment of Anxiety Disorders offers both a theoretical overview and a framework to help psychiatrists and clinical psychologists build successful treatment programs.
