The Anxiety & Phobia Workbook, Fourth Edition [Paperback]
What is the difference between panic and anxiety attacks? Anxiety is thought as an intense worry or scared emotion while under great pressure or due to a stressful situation. It is a natural response of the body. When danger is coming it is resembles an automatic alarm that activates off when there are trespassers.
So what might a panic attack be? A panic attack is a quick panic or intense fear that comes on instantly with or without reason. It can happen anytime, any place and to anyone. According to some experts, a panic attack is a side effect from heredity, biological issues or medicine withdrawal. If you prefer to treat yourself, it is much better to find out the difference between the two attacks to get an accurate diagnose.

This book excels not only in explaining the cause and nature of anxiety disorders and phobias but also in describing treatments. Director of the Anxiety Treatment Center in Santa Rosa (California), Bourne emphasizes the cognitive-behavioral model of treatment but includes information on biopsychiatry, intense psychotherapy, and spirituality as additional treatment modalities. This is truly a “workbook,” with exercises designed to facilitate recovery, either through private use or in conjunction with professional therapy. If your library already owns the 1990 edition and money is an object, you can probably pass on this revision, which updates the definitions of anxiety and phobia so that they conform with the new DSM-IV diagnostic criteria and includes new information on the biological causes of anxiety and related treatment developments.

Review
Nothing to fear but fear itself? For anyone who has ever suffered from the palm sweating, heart pounding, trembling, panting, exhausting terror of anxiety or panic attacks, that is more than enough. This book, authored by two recovering agoraphobics, offers strategies for managing anxieties and phobias, emphasizing the need to first accept our anxiety and panic, encouraging us to take risks, and giving specific dialogues to counter fearful self-talk. Although they do not address nutritional approaches or relaxation techniques, the cognitive approach they emphasize is a uniquely valuable strategy for understanding and managing fear. -- From The WomanSource Catalog & Review: Tools for Connecting the Community for Women; review by Patricia Pettijohn
