David Barlow
"The Mindfulness & Acceptance Workbook for
Anxiety combines the accumulated wisdom of the ages
with up to date,
cutting
edge developments in scientific psychology. In an easy to
read and fun format, those suffering from anxiety in all
of its guises will find the keys to breaking loose from its
shackles. By emphasizing acceptance of toxic emotions (and
illustrating ways to accomplish this), rather than struggling
to overcome them, the person inside you may finally emerge
to set your life on a new, productive, and valued course.
Highly recommended for all those struggling with worry, anxiety,
and fear."
-- David H. Barlow, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology at
Boston University, , Director of
the Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders, Past President
of the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies,
and author
of Anxiety
and Its Disorders.
Dr. Zindel
Segal
"Ably surfing the dual currents of traditional exposure and
acceptance based treatments for anxiety, the authors of this
resourceful workbook illustrate the synergies to be found
in their combination. Carefully structured charts and patient
assignments support the core message that taking action to
face one's fears is most effective if acceptance informs
our starting point and values determine our destination.
This book is a 'must read' for anyone encountering anxiety
as a barrier to a leading a fuller life."
-- Zindel Segal, Ph.D., Professor of Psychiatry and Psychology
at the University of Toronto and author of The Mindful
Way Through Depression.
Dr. Terence M. Keane
"The
Mindfulness & Acceptance Workbook for Anxiety represents
a major advance for the practical treatment of anxiety and
related conditions. This book will assist
clinicians and patients in constructing a treatment plan
that insures progress in overcoming the many obstacles associated
with conquering fears. A major contribution to clinical care,
this workbook will contribute to the growing knowledge base
on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as it joins other evidence
based approaches as a major tool for treating the disabling
symptoms that accompany anxiety."
-- Terence M. Keane, Ph.D., Director of the National
Center for PTSD Behavioral Sciences Division, and Professor
of Psychology, Boston University School of Medicine.
Dr. Richard G. Heimberg
"If you suffer with anxiety, Drs. Forsyth and Eifert
have given you a gift. The Mindfulness & Acceptance Workbook
for Anxiety is not a structured manual for how to
get over your anxiety as much as it is a book of wisdom.
They raise the inevitable truth that anxiety is a part of
all of us, and they show us the way, through willingness,
compassion, mindfulness, and acceptance of ourselves and
others, to live a life worth the living, to understand our
important values and to live in concert with them. This is
a book well worth the reading, and its message worth keeping
close to your heart."
-- Richard G. Heimberg, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology and Director of the Adult Anxiety Clinic of Temple University, Past President of the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies, and the current Editor of its flagship journal Behavior Therapy.
Dr. Martin M. Antony"In this impressive workbook, Forsyth and Eifert show how giving up your attempts to control anxiety and fear will help you to leave your anxiety problems behind and get on with your life. This clearly written book is packed with helpful suggestions. I will definitely use it with my own clients and students, and I recommend it highly for anyone who struggles with anxiety."
-- Martin M. Antony, Ph.D., ABPP, Professor and Director of Graduate Training, Department of Psychology, Ryerson University, Toronto
