Understanding and managing anxiety and panic attacks

Every human being has probably experienced panic as a heightened state of psychophysiological arousal. In addition to these ‘normal’ and common forms, the spectrum covered by panic extends to psychopathological forms of so-called anxiety and panic disorders. This book explores the phenomenon of panic in a variety of situations and contexts. Symptoms, causes, mechanisms, and triggers are described to ultimately identify effective, tried and-tested strategies for dealing with the various forms of anxiety and panic. Taking the form of a practical guide, the book is aimed equally at those affected and their relatives, as well as at professionals in the healthcare sector and counselling centres.
