Understanding Panic Attacks and Overcoming Fear

What is a panic attack? What does it feel like? What causes attacks? Can they be cured? The authoritative yet practical book helps the reader toward an in-depth understanding of panic. It is essential reading for sufferers, their friends and family, and clinicians. In clear and concise language, it describes a psychological self-help programme for panic sufferers that has been tried and tested over many years. Now in its third edition, this book has been updated throughout to reflect recent research, including the latest developments in cognitive behavioural therapy and new techniques for managing anxiety. "A full recover is possible," Dr Baker explains. "It certainly is not easy, nor quick, but it definitely is possible."
