    Metrapsychology Online Reviews
    "If I were going to recommend a self-help book for managing stress to a friend or client, this would be the one....[Abramowitz] brings his considerable expertise to bear in helping readers understand, control, and cope with stress in its many manifestations....In addition to covering stress and anxiety A-Z, Abramowitz writes clearly, with humor, and in an engaging style that should appeal to most readers. The workbook is ideal for people wanting to learn more about the stress in their lives and how to deal with it but additionally, as a supplement to working with a mental health professional....Unlike many self-help tomes on the market, there is nothing in this workbook that deviates from research supported practices or slips into unchartered territory. Accordingly, this is a valuable resource for individuals concerned about personal stress and what they should do to successfully change their lives."
    PsychCentral
    "Though I approached the book thinking that it couldn't be as useful as in-person therapy, I found Abramowitz's text to be pleasantly surprising: it truly helped....The worksheets in part II were truly life-changing. With Abramowitz's detailed descriptions and questionnaires, I was able to identify thinking patterns and behaviors that I was so accustomed to, I didn't realize they were creating stress in my life. I found myself able to apply new techniques in a variety of situations....I also found myself better able to move through day-to-day stressors by using time-management techniquesas well as through much bigger stressors, by using the techniques for changing thinking patters and relaxing the body and mind."
    From the Publisher
    "This extremely helpful, easy-to-read book provides a clear understanding of stress and how to manage it in your own life. Dr. Abramowitz is an internationally respected researcher and clinician who understands real people and how to help them. If I were asked to recommend one book for dealing with stress in relationships, at work, or in times of crisis, this would be it."—Donald H. Baucom, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Psychology, University of North Carolina

    "Dr. Abramowitz will help you reduce stress of all kinds—with benefits for your mind, body, and relationships. The recommendations in this clear, powerful guide can help you get more out of life."—Robert L. Leahy, PhD, author of The Worry Cure

    Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
    "A comprehensive manual for clinicians detailing the application of exposure therapy in the treatment of a broad range of anxiety problems. The topic is timely, and the book significantly augments the effort to disseminate exposure-based treatments....The book serves not only as an evidence-based account of the model and rationale behind exposure therapy, but also as an aid to individualizing treatment according to patient nuances, whether overt or subtle. Written by experts in the field of anxiety, Exposure Therapy for Anxiety is a complete guide to exposure therapy....The authors do an excellent job of discussing thorny clinical issues, including the 'judicious' use of safety behaviors and distraction during exposure therapy....An invaluable source of reference for any clinician, regardless of experience level."
    PsycCRITIQUES
    "An excellent compendium of information on the nature and utilization of exposure therapy in the treatment of anxiety disorders. The book is well written and thoughtfully organized, making it a worthy resource for practicing clinicians and a valuable guide for the training of health care professionals in the application of cognitive-behavioral interventions....The authors have provided the clinician in training with a commendable volume that is a concise and comprehensive presentation of the established principles and clinical practices that constitute exposure therapy."
    Journal of Contemporary Psychotherapy
    "The strengths of this text are numerous. First, it is obvious that the authors are experts in the field....Despite being grounded in research, the text is accessible and presented in a practical manner with many helpful case examples, charts, figures and patient handouts....The authors' decision to describe exposure therapy techniques for particular functional difficulties rather than diagnoses makes this text particularly useful. In addition, this text is very well organized....The authors have achieved their goal of creating 'a comprehensive and practical guide to using exposure therapy for the treatment of a wide range of anxiety problems... [that] will appeal to practicing clinicians, researchers, and students.' This text could provide students or novice clinicians with the basics of exposure therapy. More advanced clinicians and researchers would find it to be an outstanding reference guide that could provide inspiration for working with challenging cases. Thus this book is highly recommended. It would be a useful addition to any psychologist's personal library."
