Systemic Desensitisation for Panic and Phobia: An Introduction for Health Professionals

2017 | Medical & Veterinary

Panic disorder and phobia are difficulties that are commonly encountered in our consulting rooms. There is less help at the present time from the NHS as a result of cutbacks in health care provision by the state. This book puts forward a different method of recovery than covered by the many books that are available on the subject. The author presents this method both as a former patient, and as a therapist of almost thirty years standing. It has been proven to be highly successful. Having described the common physiological and psychological symptoms of panic disorder and phobia, the author then describes how the professional utilises this method. Two extended case studies are also presented, one of agoraphobia, the other of driving phobia. Whilst this book aims to appeal to counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists, it may also be useful for sufferers themselves to read and adopt this programme of recovery.
