Concise Guide to Anxiety Disorders

Reviews / Votes

This is simply a great book that has many uses for a wide
array of treatment providers. It is detailed enough for the experienced
psychiatrist, while simultaneously appealing to a broader group of
clinicians. The size of the book enhances its usefulness in terms of
flexibility without compromising important details. It is a welcome addition
to the field and its authors' credentials elevate it to a higher status than
similar books. It is a pleasure to read. -- Corey Goldstein, M.D. * Doody's Health Science Review * Concise Guide to Anxiety Disorders by Hollander and
Simeon is a well organized, excellently written, and contains a wealth of
information that should be extremely useful to medical students, residents,
and practicing psychiatrists. . . . In conclusion, I feel that every student
and resident would be well advised to obtain this pocket-sized treasure of
information for easy access to clinically pertinent data. The critically
selected references will lead the reader to a deeper understanding of the
theoretical and practical issues concerning anxiety disorders. -- John Straumanis, M.D. * Journal of Clinical Psychiatry * This compact, pocket-sized review of the anxiety disorders,
written by two experts with both research and clinical expertise, has a
soothing, lime-green cover, a simple, succinct expositional style, a
familiar organization (sequential chapters on epidemiology, diagnosis,
course, biological theories, psychological theories, somatic treatments, and
psychotherapy treatments), and a wealth of surprisingly up-to-date and
comprehensive information about each of the major anxiety disorders (panic,
generalized anxiety disorder, social phobia, specific phobia, seasonal
affective disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder [OCD], and posttraumatic
stress disorder [PTSD]. -- Peter P. Roy-Byrne, M.D. * The American Journal of Psychiatry *
