Description
Exposure Therapy refers to any clinical intervention in which a client directly confronts a source of fear. Since high levels of anxiety
can not be maintained indefinitely, repeated exposure leads to decreased anxiety. This type of treatment is effective with phobias, post
traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive disorders, panic, generalized anxiety, and several other disorders. It's also been found
to be effective in helping to treat substance abuse. Although exposure-based treatments have been extensively researched and reported
in the literature, there is no single comprehensive treatment of exposure therapies. Writings tend to be limited to larger pieces on
treating specific disorders or types of patients. A comprehensive book on the use of these treatments across patient disorders will be
of great use to practitioners.
The book is divided into three sections: Foundation, Applications, and Issues. Foundation chapters considers
theoretical and assessment issues. Applications chapters will discuss research literature on each disorder having been proven to be successfully
treated with exposure therapy. Issue chapters will discuss liability issues, false memory syndrome, and the use of computers and virtual
reality in exposure therapy.
Audience
Clinical and counseling psychologists. APA divisions 12,17,29,42,43,49 (27,000 members).
