About the Authors:
"This is an excellent pair of books in what I imagine, given
Barlow's expertise, experience, and track record, will be a very
good series. The pairing of a therapist guide and companion
workbook sets the series apart from previous texts that have
provided either practitioner guidebooks or self-help
manuals."--PsycCRITIQUES
"The Therapist Guide is a good, well-written accompaniment to the
wrokbook, providing the therapist with the latest research and
treatment rationale to help develop effective treatment plans for
individuals wishing to overcome their specific phobias."--CBT
Today
"The book covers a wide spectrum of fears and phobias, and are
grouped in a way that reflects the heterogeneity among specific
phobias... Both the Therapist Guide and the accompanying Client
Workbook are user-friendly in terms of layout and comprehensibility
of content. Time is taken to introduce the evidence-base for the
efficacy of cognitive behaviour techniques in the treatment of
fears and phobias; this supplies the therapist with knowledge and
confidence
in this form of treatment."--Institute of Psychiatry, Kings College
London
