Anxiety consists of eleven distinct disorders according to the DSM V-TR, and counselors are expected to tackle a wide gamut of the anxiety spectrum without being trained comprehensively to do so at all levels. This book demonstrates how therapists can look at clinical anxiety treatment throughout the lifespan. Using the theoretical frameworks and efficacy of first, second, and third-level CBT treatment as foundation, Brett Novick includes examples based on real client scenarios that novice and seasoned therapists alike will find topical and practical. This book will serve as a primer for dealing with what is a complex and multifaceted issue common among both professionals and clients alike.
