Product Description
Announcing...one of the First Four Titles in the Overcoming Series. The immensely popular international market leader of self-help titles. Step-by-step guides to self-improvement that introduce the methods of the highly regarded cognitive behavioral therapy technique to help readers conquer a broad range of disabling conditions--from worry to body image problems to obsessive compulsive disorder and more. The accessible, straightforward, and practical books in the Overcoming series treat disorders by changing unhelpful patterns of behavior and thought. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) was developed by psychiatrist Aaron T. Beck and is now internationally favored as a practical means of overcoming longstanding and disabling conditions, both psychological and physical. CBT insists that our thoughts cause our feelings and behaviors. Even when our situation does not change, if we change the self-defeating ways we think, we can make ourselves feel better. This positive, pragmatic approach is popular with therapists and patients alike. Books in the Overcoming Series: * highlight the history and background of the disorder, who is likely to be affected, and what the main symptoms are * provide a structure ideal for personal use or in a program using guided self-help techniques * include diagnostic questionnaires, case studies, and workbook-style interactive exercises * explore step-by-step techniques such as diary- and record-keeping, problem-solving, and managing symptoms * include overviews of all treatment options * offer authoritative, commonsense solutions to pervasive, difficult emotional problems * are highly recommended by experts around the world * and offer readers an affordable and easy-to-follow treatment plan

Sharp focus on Social Anxiety by Mezk (Prague, Czech rep.)

5 Stars
December 29, 2008
If you are sure that your only problem is social anxiety, than it is great book with a sharp focus on this topic. If you would like to receive a more general guide about your psychological problems (maybe you have not read anything in this genre yet) then I would recommend The Feeling Good Handbook. After that you will see if you need to study more and read this book.

Really Helpful Book by Cate (Portland, OR USA)

I haven't read other books on social anxiety, but I have read a number of books on anxiety disorders. This book is so helpful to me - it's practical and realistic. The author totally gets social anxiety - the causes, beliefs, behaviors, and effects - and suggests cognitive behavioral techniques to address and ultimately minimize the anxiety. It's a comforting relief to have someone understand, explain, and help resolve something that can sometimes be so difficult to live with.
