Generalized Anxiety Disorder

"Many therapists find it difficult and even demoralizing to assess and treat clients with generalized anxiety disorder. In this accessible and engaging book, Marker and Aylward break down the key elements of a successful diagnosis and treatment, so that novice and experienced professionals alike will be better prepared to take on the challenge of helping clients manage their seemingly uncontrollable worry. Guided by the latest research, this is an outstanding resource, filled with practical advice that therapists can immediately apply." Bethany Teachman, PhD, Director of the Program for Anxiety, Cognition, and Treatment, Department of Psychology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA "This is a key manual for any clinician working with anxious patients. The concise format and up-to-date information also make it an outstanding training resource. The authors explain the diagnosis and complexities of GAD, and illustrate assessment and cognitive-behavioral treatment with great clarity and in a hands-on way that is sure to facilitate positive outcomes."
