Personalized Exposure Therapy. A Person-Centered Transdiagnostic Approach
Evidence overwhelmingly shows that exposure therapy is effective for the
treatment of anxiety and related disorders. Its adoption into clinical
practice has been slow, however-in part because the available
one-size-fits-all manuals often leave patients and clinicians
unsatisfied.
Personalized Exposure Therapy provides
expert guidance to clinicians on conducting exposure-based interventions
in a targeted and flexible fashion. Providing detailed information on a
range of strategies for maximizing clinical outcomes from exposure,
this book features a case formulation approach that personalizes the
timing and nature of exposure practice. Case examples, scripts, and
worksheets, presented in a practical, mentor-based format for planning
and enacting individual sessions, ensure that clinical procedures are
readily accessible for in-session use. Personalized Exposure Therapy
is appropriate for early-career and experienced clinicians alike, and
will also be suitable for use in graduate courses in clinical
psychology, counselling, social work, nursing and psychiatry.
