It includes a review of the traditional cognitive-behavioral and pharmacological techniques for treating anxiety, with attention to the latest trends in treatment, including acceptance-based and mindfulness approaches. The author places anxiety disorders in the larger context of global events and trends that have impacted the general feeling of safety in the Western world and contributed to the rise of anxiety in general. A client example illustrates the use of Stephen Gilligan's self-relations psychotherapy, spiritually oriented cognitive therapy, transpersonal bibliotherapy, hypnosis, and breath awareness.
