Exposure Therapy For Anxiety: Principles and Practices is the leading guide to therapeutic exposure, a crucial element of evidence-based psychological treatments for anxiety. The book helps the clinician gain skills and confidence for implementing exposure successfully and tailoring interventions to each client's needs, regardless of diagnosis. The theoretical and empirical bases of exposure are reviewed and specialized assessment and treatment planning techniques are described. The guide includes a chapter on incorporating cutting-edge acceptance-based techniques into exposure therapy approaches. The second edition reflects a shift in the field toward inhibitory learning—helping clients learn to tolerate anxiety and uncertainty to maximize long-term outcomes. There is also a chapter on the uses of technology, such as computer-based therapy and virtual reality tools. User-friendly features include illustrative case examples, sample treatment plans, ideas for exercises targeting specific types of fears, and reproducible handouts and forms.
