This new sixth edition takes the best and makes it better by incorporating recent developments in understanding the nature and treatment of anxiety. Comprehensive in every way, it is a one-stop shop for persons with anxiety, and an invaluable and unparalleled resource for clinicians working with them.

As a person once challenged by anxiety, and as a professional, I am truly grateful for this book. It is the encyclopedia of healing from anxiety and phobias, not to read all at once, but a resource to reach for that has just what you need each day or each month easy and reassuring to follow life-changing.

This book is dedicated to anyone who has struggled with anxiety or an incomprehensible fear.

But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

Grateful Acknowledgment

To all the staff at New Harbinger who contributed to this edition: Heather Garnos, Catharine Meyers, Nicola Skidmore, Amy Shoup, Tracy Carlson, and othersas well as Jean Blomquist, who served as copy editor. Thank you for the care and attention you gave to the sixth edition of this book and for your flexibility and patience in working with me over the year it took to bring the project to completion.

Preface to the Sixth Edition

Twenty-five years have passed since this book was first published as a broad summary of the diverse approaches for treating anxiety disorders. Over that time, the book has been quite well received, reaching many people and undergoing many translations throughout the world.

Much has changed in the field of anxiety disorders over nearly four decades. The 1980s and 90s saw the growth of cognitive behavioral therapy as the dominant treatment approach for all anxiety disorders. In the twenty-first century, there has been an increasing specialization in the field, with numerous books, programs, and special organizations devoted to each of the major anxiety disorders (for example, the OC Foundation for obsessive-compulsive disorder). In recent years, there has been a proliferation of websites relating to anxiety, my website, Helpforanxiety.com, being one among many. The national organization representing anxiety disorders changed its name from the Anxiety Disorders Association of America to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, recognizing the prevalence of depression among many people who struggle with anxiety.
