- Mastery of Your Anxiety and Panic: Therapist Guide is the companion to this workbook. It details the step-by-step cognitive behavioural treatment of panic disorder and agoraphobia.

About Treatments That Work®
Authored by leading psychologists including David Barlow, Michelle Craske and Edna Foa, Treatments That Work® is a series of
Therapist Guidance
Each Treatments That Work® title is published as part of a pair:
- Clients use the Workbooks which contain elements of psychoeducation, skills development, self-assessment quizzes, homework exercises, and record forms.
- Therapists use the Therapist Guides which contain step-by-step instructions for teaching clients skills and overcoming common difficulties.
Although written for the client, the exercises in the workbook are intended to be carried out under the supervision of a mental health professional. The authors suggest that the most effective implementation of these exercises requires an understanding of the principles underlying the different procedures, and that mental health professionals should be familiar with the Mastery of Your Anxiety and Panic: Therapist Guide, as well as this workbook.
Therapists with an active subscription to a Psychology Tools ‘Complete’ plan are licensed to use Treatments That Work® titles, and to download and share chapters with their clients.
