Using Exposure Therapy to Treat Anxiety Problems: A step-by-step, clinical guide to using the exposure therapy procedure for six types of anxiety-related problems Paperback – 1 Oct. 2012

This clinical guide is simple, brief, organized, and incredibly useful. The guide walks the therapist through using exposure therapy with their clients by clearly defining different types of anxiety and offering step-by-step instructions to help reduce the symptoms associated with each type of anxiety.I often feel helpless when working with acutely and/or chronically anxious clients who have "tried everything" but continue to really suffer with anxiety symptoms. This guide offers an incredible and easy-to-use resource for therapists to untangle the type of anxiety their client is experiencing and apply evidence-based exposure therapy techniques to help ease the often palpable discomfort anxiety can cause.This book is, in a word, "useful". My only criticism is that I would like more. I would also like to know more about how often to use the techniques described and a bit more about outcome expectations.This clinical guide is worth the cost and provides a very practical tool to help therapists do what they love to do- help people feel better.

This is the third clinical manual I’ve bought from Dr. Feldman (I have structured activities & therapist toolkit). They’re all excellent at giving you concrete, practical tools & techniques to use with different problems and populations. This book does the same thing for exposure therapy. It takes you through detailed steps with relaxation & breathing scripts and clear examples of how to change negative thoughts and pictures into positive ones. The book’s bio says that the author is also a trainer & teacher, and it definitely shows.

Really helpful manual! Other books I’ve read on exposure therapy spend a lot of time discussing what exposure therapy is and how it’s used, but this guides you through the actual steps of using it with a client. I also like the large format because it’s easy to read the relaxation scripts out loud and easy to make copies of the questionnaires, handouts, and worksheets to give to my clients.

A good reference for Exposure Therapy. Reads like a workbook from a 1-2 day workshop on the topic. Easy to follow and understand. Looking forward to implementing what I’ve learned thus far to help clients with anxiety issues. Helps move the theory of Exposure Therapy into an applicable format. Very glad to list it among my resources.

Clyde M. Feldman is not a Clinical Psychologist, and this is a self-published "book" (i.e., it is not published by a publishing company, the author paid someone to run off copies of a 75 page "book" that is published in extremely large font). This "book" was not peer reviewed. IMO it is a severe misrepresentation to call this a book, as it appears to be more like a magazine, and Mr. Feldman needs to be more explicit about his background and his academic credentials. He is licensed by the State of Arizona as a "Licensed Professional Counselor" and a "Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist", not as a psychologist of any sort.
