Editorial Reviews

Glasgow primary-care practitioner for the National Health Service White offers therapists a didactic, cognitive-behavioral, group- therapy approach to anxiety disorders. It is a robust six-session evening class designed for groups ranging in number from six to sixty, and flexible to accommodate the needs of routine clinical work. The underlying premise is to turn the clients into their own therapists. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
