Media Reviews

This book, written by two of the leading clinician-scientists in the field of anxiety disorders, is a thoughtfully revised and updated version of what was already a go-to manual for practitioners wanting to provide state-of-the-art care for their patients with social anxiety disorder (SAD). It provides clear, step-by-step guidance on utilizing cognitive-behavioral interventions for SAD, and effectively embeds case examples throughout to underscore and emphasize key principles for their employment. This is a very valuable book for both the trainee wanting practical guidance as they seek to master the practice of CBT as well as for the seasoned clinician looking to sharpen their practice.

Hofmann and Otto, with groundbreaking research paving the way, have produced an easy to use but powerful and cutting-edge program for treating the devastations of social anxiety disorder that should be on every clinician's bookshelf. Their decades of hands-on experience with this difficult problem and their compassion for those suffering from it are evident.
