Review by Library Journal Review

Verdict: This is an accessible, well-written resource for anyone struggling with what can be a debilitation disease. Recommended for all public libraries and for universities supporting the helping professions. Background: Licensed clinical psychologist Wehrenberg (The Anxious Brain) aims to help the estimated 40 million Americans who suffer from anxiety disorders (e.g., panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and social anxiety disorder). Readers are presented with the ten techniques that the author has found work best in controlling and overcoming anxiety. These straight-forward, doable methods include self-talk, cognitive control, relaxation, and breathing exercises. Tips aside, there is excellent scientific information about how the brain functions in relation to anxiety. Wehrenberg asserts that people with anxiety disorder have the power to change how their brains work without medication.--Mary E. Jones, Los Angeles P.L. (c) Copyright 2010.
