The truth is that you can defeat your fears. The author of the four-million-copy bestselling Feeling Good offers 40+ simple, effective CBT-based techniques to overcome every conceivable kind of anxiety—without medication. “Few truly great books on psychotherapy have been published, and this is one of them.”—Albert Ellis, Ph.D., founder of the Albert Ellis Institute and bestselling author of A Guide to Rational Living We all know what it’s like to feel anxious, worried, or panicky. What you may not realize is that these fears are almost never based on reality. When you’re anxious, you’re actually fooling yourself, telling yourself things that simply aren’t true. See if you can recognize yourself in any of these distortions: All-or-Nothing Thinking: “My mind will go blank when I give my presentation at work, and everyone will think I’m an idiot.” Fortune Telling: “I just know I’ll freeze up and blow it when I take my test.” Mind Reading: “Everyone at this party can see how nervous I am.” Magnification: “Flying is so dangerous. I think this plane is going to crash!” Should Statements: “I shouldn’t be so anxious and insecure. Other people don’t feel this way.” Self-Blame: “What’s wrong with me? I’m such a loser!” Mental Filter: “Why can’t I get anything done? My life seems like one long procrastination.” Using techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on practical, solution-based methods for understanding and overcoming negative thoughts and emotions, When Panic Attacks gives you the ammunition to quickly defeat every conceivable kind of anxiety, such as chronic worrying, shyness, public speaking anxiety, test anxiety, and phobias, without lengthy therapy or prescription drugs. With forty fast-acting techniques that have been shown to be more effective than medications, When Panic Attacks is an indispensable handbook for anyone who’s worried sick and sick of worrying.

-- Newly revised 4th edition includes the latest information on the diagnosis and treatment of panic disorder. -- Recognized by the National Institute of Mental Health and the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill. -- Panic Disorder is the only book of its kind, written for the layperson in the '90s, to approach the subject from a medical point of view. -- Key points about the disorder are illustrated with case studies. Very little current information is available for patients regarding the medical, rather than psychological, aspects of this affliction. Panic Disorder closes that information gap, and shows that there is no reason to suffer from the disorder when medication has proven to be so effective. "The National Anxiety Foundation gives Dr. Kernodle an A+ for his contribution to a better understanding of this important problem". -- Stephen M. Cox, M.D., President National Anxiety Foundation "It (Panic Disorder-The Medical Point of View) keeps the strength of the first edition: clear, conversational tone. And it updates and expands on the medical treatment of the disorder. A valuable addition to the literature for the public". -- Brian B. Doyle, M.D., Director Anxiety Disorders Program, Department of Psychiatry, Georgetown Medical School "Altogether, this book presents a concise, yet thorough overview of panic disorder and its consequences, as well as a refreshingly balanced approach to treatment...It appears to be a superior patient-oriented book compared with those already on the market". -- The Journal of Family Practice
Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia by Borwin Bandelow,Katharina Domschke,David Baldwin Pdf
Part of the Oxford Psychiatry Library series, this pocketbook provides a user-friendly introduction to the diagnosis, etiology, and treatment of patients with panic disorder.
In recent years, panic disorder has become one of the most researched syndromes in psychopathology. It has also been a topic of intense controversy, with sharp disagreements along disciplinary lines among biological psychiatrists, behavioral psychologists, and epidemiologists concerning its syndromal validity, epidemiology, etiology, and treatment. Filling the need for a balanced, in-depth analysis of the most current research and theory on all aspects of the syndrome, this unique volume provides a comprehensive, integrative exploration of panic disorder. Maintaining throughout that panic disorder is a psychobiological syndrome characterized by dysfunction at the cognitive as well as the physiological level, the book begins with a discussion of the phenomenology of the disorder that covers: * Origins of the panic disorder concept * The evolution of panic disorder in DSM-III, DSM-III-R, and DSM-IV * Qualitative distinctions between panic, anxiety, and fear * Alternative subtyping schemes * Variants of panic * Direct assessment Extensive reviews of the epidemiology, biological aspects, and psychopharmacologic treatments are presented in subsequent chapters, followed by detailed explorations of psychological aspects, including predictability and controllability, and psychological treatments, including cognitive-behavioral techniques. A thorough discussion of the syndromal validity and etiology of the disorder is provided, and metatheoretical issues such as the cross-cultural and philosophical aspects of the disorder are also addressed. The final chapter presents conclusions about the current knowledge of panic, and looks toward future developments. An important resource for all psychologists, psychiatrists, mental health professionals, and researchers interested in panic disorder, this book will also be a valuable text for psychiatry residents, medical students, and graduate students in clinical and counseling psychology.

Culture and Panic Disorder by Devon E. Hinton,Byron J. Good Pdf
Psychiatric classifications created in one culture may not be as universal as we assume, and it is difficult to determine the validity of a classification even in the culture in which it was created. Culture and Panic Disorder explores how the psychiatric classification of panic disorder first emerged, how medical theories of this disorder have shifted through time, and whether or not panic disorder can actually be diagnosed across cultures. In this breakthrough volume a distinguished group of medical and psychological anthropologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, and historians of science provide ethnographic insights as they investigate the presentation and generation of panic disorder in various cultures. The first available work with a focus on the historical and cross-cultural aspects of panic disorders, this book presents a fresh opportunity to reevaluate Western theories of panic that were formerly taken for granted.
Living with Panic Disorder by John Tsilimparis Pdf
Living with Panic Disorder is a collection of poignant short stories written by panic disorder sufferers throughout the country. The pieces describe, often in shocking detail, the tormented lives of people living day to day with this condition. Panic disorder is a devastating but highly treatable condition that affects one out of every ten people. The illness is so pervasive that many people go through life in hiding, completely isolated for fear of shame and ridicule. The stories in this anthology will help normalize panic disorder to the masses and begin the process of dispelling the myth that only mentally unstable people suffer from this condition. My hope is that this book will also help the many who are still suffering alone to reach out and get treatment. Reading about one person's experience would not be powerful enough. I needed an anthology of pained voices from all walks of life to relate gritty, descriptive accounts of their struggles in their own words. The following stories were written by courageous individuals whose lives were forever changed by the power of panic disorder.
Part cultural history, part sociological critique, and part literary performance, Panic Diaries explores the technological and social construction of individual and collective panic. Jackie Orr looks at instances of panic and its “cures” in the twentieth-century United States: from the mass hysteria following the 1938 radio broadcast of H. G. Wells’s War of the Worlds to an individual woman swallowing a pill to control the “panic disorder” officially recognized by the American Psychiatric Association in 1980. Against a backdrop of Cold War anxieties over atomic attack, Orr highlights the entanglements of knowledge and power in efforts to reconceive panic and its prevention as problems in communication and information feedback. Throughout, she reveals the shifting techniques of power and social engineering underlying the ways that scientific and social scientific discourses—including crowd psychology, Cold War cybernetics, and contemporary psychiatry—have rendered panic an object of technoscientific management. Orr, who has experienced panic attacks herself, kept a diary of her participation as a research subject in clinical trials for the Upjohn Company’s anti-anxiety drug Xanax. This “panic diary” grounds her study and suggests the complexity of her desire to track the diffusion and regulation of panic in U.S. society. Orr’s historical research, theoretical reflections, and biographical narrative combine in this remarkable and compelling genealogy, which documents the manipulation of panic by the media, the social sciences and psychiatry, the U.S. military and government, and transnational drug companies.
