Counselling for Anxiety Problems by Richard S Hallam

Counselling for Anxiety Problems by Richard S Hallam

Approaches anxiety problems in the context of the client's choices, social demands, uncertainties, perceived threats and acquired vulnerabilities. This guide adopts an eclectic and flexible approach and should be of practical use to all counsellors and students of counselling.

`the content is closely associated with the practice of clinical psychology.. contains a great deal of clinical wisdom and I expect that even those well acquainted with the area will learn something of value from within its pages′ - International Review of Psychiatry

`provides a very stimulating mixture of theory and practice, and suggests that a theoretical view that emphasizes the complexity of clinical reality can also provide an excellent basis for clinical practice′ - Behaviour Research and Therapy

`a must for anyone who has either experienced anxiety themselves (and who hasn′t?) or who has tried to understand, and perhaps help, an anxious friend or caller... thoroughly readable and comprehensible... The author devotes a long chapter to panic attacks, as an extreme response to stress, and one which can hugely affect normal life. I found this fascinating and it did much to increase my understanding of this extreme reaction to some situations... well worth a read, to help us understand better those callers who are anxious - and maybe ourselves′ - The Samaritan

`This book will be very useful to trainee counsellors and those whose work and interests bring them into contact with anxious people... makes a sound and practical handbook and a useful reference point for both beginning students and the more experienced, as they continue to develop skills in helping clients′ - Self & Society

Richard Hallam is a clinical psychologist with Bloomsbury and Islington Health Authority and Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the Polytechnic of East London. He is the author of Anxiety: Psychological Perspectives on Panic and Agoraphobia (1985)
