Introduction & Theoretical Background

Panic attacks and agoraphobia are extremely common. Around 30% of people have experienced a panic attack in the past year, and between 5% and 9% of people experience panic disorder and/or agoraphobia at some point in their life. Mastery Of Your Anxiety And Panic is a comprehensive program to assist clinicians in delivering effective CBT for panic and agoraphobia. The program includes two books:

  • 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.
  • Mastery of Your Anxiety And Panic: Workbook will help your patients to become active participants in their treatment and to learn to manage panic attacks, anxiety about panic, and avoidance of panic and agoraphobic situations.

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.
