Phobias by Heather Buchanan

Anxiety is a natural part of life - but what happens when everyday anxieties start to dominate our lives, or when we become overwhelmingly anxious about a particular object or situation? In this friendly and engaging introduction, the authors consider these questions by discussing a range of specific and social phobias, along with their symptoms, effects and treatment. Whatever your level of study, this book will help you to develop your understanding of phobias, why they develop and the effectiveness of different treatments.
'If you have an interest in phobias, this book is a definite must-readWritten by two outstanding psychologists, the text reviews all major phobias clearly and in an engaging manner. I thoroughly recommend it.' - Koula Asimakopoulou, Senior Lecturer in Health Psychology, King's College London
