Beschreibungen
<P>For many years, cognitive-behavioral techniques have been at the forefront of treatment for anxiety disorders. More recently, strategies rooted in Eastern concepts of acceptance and mindfulness have have demonstrated some promise in treating anxiety, especially in tandem with CBT. Now, with <STRONG>Acceptance-Based Behavioral Therapies for Anxiety</STRONG>, thirty expert clinicians and researchers present a comprehensive guide to integrating these powerful complementary approaches—where they match, when they differ, and why they work so well together.</P>
<P>Chapter authors clearly place mindfulness and acceptance into the clinical lexicon, establishing links with established traditions, including emotion theory and experiential therapy. In addition, separate chapters discuss specific anxiety disorders, the current state of treatment for each, and practical ways of integrating acceptance and mindfulness approaches into therapy.</P>

Topic discussed in book is very timely, as acceptance and mindfulness have become a major feature of what is emerging as the new integrative cognitive therapy Currently no other book that applies this approach to anxiety disorders Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
<P>This is the first reference to apply the acceptance and mindfulness-based techniques that are becoming an integral part of cognitive behavioral therapy. The book shows how acceptance and mindfulness have grown out of existing psychological traditions, and goes on to explicate the assessment and treatment of anxiety disorders with an emphasis on choosing the most effective treatments. Chapters on specific anxiety disorders provide guidance on the best practices for each.</P>
