Companion volume to: Mastery of anxiety and panic for adolescents : riding the wave : therapist guide /
This workbook is designed to help adolescents cope with panic disorder and agoraphobia, with easy to understand explanations and teen friendly forms. The programme outlined here was developed at the Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders at Boston University and targets patients ages 12-17. It comprises 12 sessions to be delivered over an 11-week period. Adolescents learn about the nature of panic and anxiety and how to challenge their panic thoughts. Exposure sessions help them face their fears and stop avoiding situations that cause heightened anxiety.
