"Holly Hazlett-Stevens has provided clinicians who treat clients with generalized anxiety disorder with a most useful resource. Psychological Approaches to Generalized Anxiety Disorder is a compendium of techniques with which all cognitive-behavioral therapists should be familiar, presented in a step-by-step, easy-to-digest fashion. The beginning clinician will find the detailed description of techniques and the theory underlying their use to be most helpful in helping clients overcome the cognitive, somatic, and behavioral symptoms that make GAD such a complex disorder to treat. The attention devoted to the description of each technique and what to do when application of the techniques does not go as smoothly as one might like was especially helpful. This book provides a long list of options in the treatment of GAD and a roadmap to their administration in an integrated fashion by an empathically-attuned cognitive-behavioral therapist. It will occupy a place of honor on the bookshelves of those of us who treat clients with GAD, and we will be thankful that we have it."-Richard G.
