Shyness:
A Bold New Approach, Bernardo Carducci, Ph.D.
(384 pages, paperback), New York: Quill, 2002.
Shyness is a common human experience, not a disorder, frailty
or character flaw. In fact, 20 percent of Rhesus monkeys (whose
brain structures are closest to human) are behaviorally inhibited
(shy), both in captivity and in the wild. The trait is so genetically
predetermined that we can breed shy monkeys. And if
we give those infants to a dominant mother, she will nurture
them right out of their inhibitions so that a few years later
they act just like the average adolescent. Conclusion: you
can be shy and still perform successfully out there in the
world. Dr. Carducci honors and respects those with shy traits
and simultaneously shares the key moves to strengthen self-acceptance
and build social skills. He exquisitely recognizes the narcissistic
paradox: when you become preoccupied with critically observing
your own behavior, you become more anxious, and then
tend to botch the social encounter. He teaches the reader,
among other things, how to transfer attention off the self
and toward the other, thus giving a more realistic sense of
the social encounter.
This is a wonderful guide that tracks and assists through
all stages of the lifecycle, from pre-school through adulthood,
and steers among the major settings of life, from intimacy
to the workplace.

 The
10 Best-ever Anxiety Management Techniques,
by Margaret Wehrenberg, Psy.D. (paperback, 224 pages, 2008)When
you suffer from continued anxiety and worry, you feel as though
there is something basically wrong with the biochemistry of your
brain. Not true. Your brain is the world’s most brilliantly complex machine, and it functions impeccably. The problem is that it can learn in a heartbeat how to protect you from threat; but once it learns, it doesn’t
unlearn easily. If you struggle with panic disorder, generalized
anxiety or social anxiety, in this book you will find a solid combination
to unlock this learning process within the brain, and the good
news is: your brain will be an excellent student. Dr. Wehrenberg
has done the work to create the right learning environment and
to organize your needed tools. If you follow her lead, your body
and mind will thank you with the peace and quiet you deserve.

 The
Mindfulness & Acceptance Workbook for Anxiety,
John Forsyth, Ph.D. & Georg Eifert, Ph.D. (267 pages,
paperback plus CD), Oakland: New Harbinger, 2007.
The brain is built to respond to all threat as a signal, instructing
the body-&-mind to “take action now.” After
a bit, the body-&-mind memorizes the signal-response pattern,
and many of our responses become automatic. The brain is programmed
to err on the side of assuming threat instead of assuming safety.
This is a good thing for survival. But we end up responding
to a lot of false positives. This is unfortunate when our automatic
reaction to lots of situations becomes a sense of threat, anxiety,
and avoidance. How to change this is very simple; we could
send the instructions on a postcard. And when you follow the
guidance of this wonderful workbook, by the end you’ll
be able to fit the principles that guide you onto the back
of a postcard, too.
The challenge, as they say, is in the details: how to change
your mind so it lines up with those instructions. Herein lays
the gift of The Mindfulness & Acceptance Workbook for
Anxiety. Forsyth and Eifert intend to accomplish this task
in a holistic manner. They know it will take persuasion, time,
and patience. Influencing your point of view is what they are
great at: metaphors, analogies, diagrams, cartoon illustrations,
examples, written exercises and homeworks, within 270 workbook-sized
pages. The accompanying CD contains 8 audio-guided meditations
and the book’s 13 printable exercise forms.
Here’s what this workbook isn’t: a set of skills
to practice in order to control anxiety. Instead, this is a
framework to orient you toward the rest of your value-filled
life. You will be taken on a journey. Go. Because if you win
at this task of uncoupling from your anxious reactions to life,
it will be because you have altered your consciousness. No
small task! It takes a student’s mind and a willingness
to be coached. Fortunately, you will find these authors to
be trustworthy and competent guides.

Anxiety and Its Disorders: The Nature and Treatment of Anxiety and Panic (Second Edition)
by David H. Barlow, Ph.D. (Paperback, 704 pages, 2004)
"Barlow has once again produced a masterpiece. This volume combines comprehensive reviews of theory and research with innovative, clinically meaningful, empirically based models of each anxiety disorder. Like its predecessor, it will serve as the preeminent guide for research and treatment development for years to come. This book should be required reading for clinicians and clinical scientists working with anxiety disorders.

Cognitive Therapy of Anxiety Disorders: Science & Practice
by David A. Clark, Ph.D. & Aaron T. Beck, M.D., (628 pages, hardback), New York: Guilford Press, 2010.
Aaron Beck is considered the father of cognitive therapy.
I had the honor of having him serve as my dissertation
external advisor way back in 1978. I have considered myself
a cognitive therapist since that time. David A. Clark
has done an outstanding job (I believe he called it “painstaking”)
over the past four years of reviewing, evaluating and synthesizing
the enormous research and clinical literature on the cognitive
perspective toward anxiety. Beck published his first book
on the cognitive treatment model for the anxiety disorders
in 1985. This new book updates and refines Anxiety
Disorders and Phobias: A Cognitive Perspective based on
two decades of further research. The great news for
practitioners is just how useful this book is. Don’t
be scared off by the “science” in the subtitle;
there is no question that this is a practical treatment
manual. In fact, the last five chapters are really
mini treatment manuals for panic disorder, social phobia,
GAD, OCD, and PTSD. Plus you’ll find rating
scales, checklists, structured diaries—almost forty
reproducible handouts and forms. In every chapter you will
find "Clinician Guidelines." Each is a boxed-in
few sentences that reinforce key points. They serve as
a great way for experienced clinicians to scan through
sections of this sizable book and settle in on passages
that expand their comprehension. If you are ready
to sharpen your clinical skills, you will truly appreciate
this book.
