"Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) continues to be one of the
hardest-to-treat psychological conditions. Further, few people seek
help for it, despite a multitude of findings that speak to its
associated distress, difficulty functioning, loss of work, and
relationship challenges. Robichaud and Dugas are experts in the
treatment of generalized anxiety disorder, and this workbook
benefits greatly from their wisdom. They have put together a clear
and cogent guide for those suffering with chronic worry and
uncertainty. The explanations and interventions outlined in this
workbook are well supported, and will undoubtedly provide a vital
source of help to those suffering with this debilitating
condition."

"If you have ever engaged in excessive worry, you will find value
in TheGeneralized Anxiety Disorder Workbook. This volume
introduces the concepts of intolerance of uncertainty and the
search for safety as key aspects of the worry cycle to explain the
core processes involved in unwarranted worry. The real jewels of
this book, however, are the very many concrete and applicable tools
that it provides to readers, to help them both understand their
worry and to correct their concerns, if necessary. This workbook is
based on solid research as well as the framework of cognitive
behavioral therapy (CBT), and is written in an accessible and
practical manner by two of the world's leading authorities. I
recommend it with no uncertainty."
--Keith S. Dobson, PhD, professor of clinical psychology at the
University of Calgary, Canada; past president of the Academy of
Cognitive Therapy; and past president of the International
Association for Cognitive Psychotherapy
"This is a fantastic workbook for several reasons: it is based on a
treatment that has strong scientific support from multiple trials;
it is brilliantly written, and is highly practical. The
downloadable worksheets and exercises, clear examples, and obvious
expertise of the authors make this an invaluable resource for
people suffering from excessive worry, as well as health
professionals."
--Roz Shafran, PhD, clinical psychologist and professor of
translational psychology at the University College London Institute
