This brief six session treatment of panic disorder has been shown
to be effective in primary care settings when administered by
behavioral health specialists. As most patients with panic attacks
first contact their primary care providers, use of this
evidence-based manual can avoid years of struggling to get an
accurate diagnosis and the most effective evidence-based treatment.
This brief version is likely to be used in other settings where a
longer treatment may not be feasible. I enthusiastically recommend
this manual for every primary care facility and other settings
where a brief treatment is warranted.

Psychiatry, University of Michigan Medical School*
This suite of therapist manuals and patient workbooks, focusing on
cutting edge CBT treatment for panic disorder, remains a classic in
the field. The authors are internationally renowned for their
expertise in this area and have updated the text with new research,
an enhanced emphasis on inhibitory learning to inform the process
and conduct of exposure exercises, and new and improved case
material. Starting with the previous version, the program pays more
attention to variability in how fast or slow a client is able move
through the treatment, improving the patient—treatment 'match'. The
end result facilitates implementation for the user and is in a way
like having a personal supervision experience with the authors.
*Peter Roy-Byrne, MD, Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry, University
of Washington School of Medicine*
The Mastery of Your Anxiety and Panic volumes - the therapist guide

The workbooks for clients, including one suitable for primary care

rendering them ideal for anyone struggling with panic attacks.
