Review of The Anxiety & Phobia Workbook, Fourth Edition (Paperback)

If you or someone you know suffers from a panic disorder, anxiety, OCD, or phobias (especially agoraphobia and social phobias), you must read this book. It is THE best source of information and practical help I have ever seen on the subject.
The book contains a wide array of topics: causes of anxiety, coping with attacks, pharmaceutical treatments, holistic treatments, psychological approaches, nutrition, relaxation, where to find support, how to give support... the book would be worth triple its price just for the richness of information Dr. Bourne has compiled.
Add to that the excellent workbook exercises and techniques, and you have a truly indispensable resource.
I was very pleased with the presentation of the material. This book is not overflowing with warm and fuzzy, touchy-feely reassurances like many "self-help" books. Instead, it has proven, practical, self-paced techniques and exercises which you can use in your daily life, presented in a clear and easy-to-digest format. It's not a dry textbook, and it's not a bit of pop-psychology fluff -- this is a powerful tool for anyone whose quality of life has diminished because of anxiety and fear.
Good luck!

Review of Nutrition and Diet Therapy, Fourth Edition (Paperback)

The only reason I ordered this book was for an online course I was taking.It was so much better than the ebook. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was that it took longer to ship than most things I get from Amazon. Other than that it was exactly what I needed.

Product Description

Ideal for self-paced or distance-learning courses, the text's unique modular format contains practice exercises and post-tests throughout, allowing students to master one section of the material before moving to the next. All modules have been updated to reflect the most current information available on normal and therapeutic nutrition.
