Editorial Reviews

Review

“From her experience successfully treating hundreds of patients, and from her review of the voluminous literature in the area, Dr. Beckfield has distilled the essence of effective treatment into the most readable book on the topic I have seen.”
John Greist, MD, author, Anxiety and Its Treatment, Clinical Director of Psychiatry, University of Washington Medical School

“Of all the clinical self-help books on panic disorder,
Master Your Panic And Take Back Your Life is the best. I use the book as required reading for the individual and group therapy I conduct for clients with panic disorder and high anxiety. It is excellent, easily understandable and with self-help exercises that really make a difference. I recommend they read others, but I require this one.”
Tom Parsons, MA, LPC , co-founder: The SHYNESS Institute of Colorado

“The minute I finished reading [this book], I wanted to hop right on a plane and fly out to meet with Dr. Beckfield in person. It is written with unbelievable understanding and compassion. I keep a copy at home and work. It comes in handy for me and also for others who may try to understand their condition... I recommend the book highly to anyone with panic and anxiety. It's a magnificent book.&rdquo
M.L., a reader in Clearwater Beach, FL

“...Especially noteworthy are chapters 2, 3, and 4, helping clients to trace both the lifetime origins as well as the daily antecedents of their panic episodes. I haven't seen this covered so well anywhere else.”
Edmund Bourne, PhD, author, Anxiety, Fears and Phobias

“...best book of its kind.&rdquo
Albert Ellis, PhD, President, Albert Ellis Institute, New York

“I just turned 40 years old... I've been suffering from periodic attacks since I was 24 years old... Right now I feel 100% like my 'old' self... You have helped me&rdquot;
A grateful reader, Memphis, TN

“...Dr. Beckfield clearly understands this exquisitely uncomfortable disorder...”
THE WILSON LIBRARY JOURNAL

“I was quite surprised at the impact the book had on me... This book is just what we need! [It is]... user-friendly, based on sound, research-based techniques, yet also addresses emotional issues such as loss, and unresolved grief or anger (something we find hard to release)... Dr. Beckfield truly understands the agony and struggle that her clients and readers experience... excellent book.”
—From a review in
The Mountain Climber

“As a therapist, I am delighted to have learned of a book which I can use with my anxiety and panic disorder patients... as a professor, I look forward to the opportunity to utilize your book as a text, or as recommended reading for some of my courses...”
Janice Kinter, PhD, former Director of Clinical Placement, Psychology, California Graduate Institute

&ldquot;...a valuable resource for people with panic disorder.”

When I had a panic attach. I didn't know what was going on , I thought I was dying what a horrible feeling. I ended up in E.R. and found I had a pani attach. I found this book at the library. I started to list the bad things going back to my childhood making a list of the good and bad it was a personel looking glass of who I was. Than I saw things about my self that that had built over the years. its like my DR. said you fill the bath tub until one day it over flows. panic attach. he said you need to pull the plug. this book helps you to understand people who you cannot avoid but are around every day understanding is a key to say sorry but that doesn't mean I am oboulgated to do it.

I bought this copy to replace my therapists copy that got damage. I can't believe the deal I got on this book! My therapist recommended this book to me and I have now recommended it to others. If you are someone struggling with an anxiety disorder and/or panic disorder, give this book a try. There is a lot of information and strategies to help.

i highlighted so much of this book and then gave it to my nephew. He is reading it and seeing himself.

3.0 out of 5 stars If you really have panic...

s. · October 28, 2012

This book was recommended to me by my therapist when I expressed symptoms of anxiety, and he thought they could develop into panic attacks. Not one for self-help books, I begrudgingly read through the book. If you really have issues with panic attacks or panic disorder, this book is full of good exercises, activities, advice and anecdotes to understand what is causing your panic and how to tackle it. However, I quickly figured out I was not suffering from panic and it was not helpful to me, even though it makes claims it may benefit those with generalized anxiety or chronic anxiety. Everything is very geared towards panic.

5.0 out of 5 stars This was the first anxiety related book I ever read ...

A.S. · October 16, 2016

This was the first anxiety related book I ever read. This is the book that gave a name to what was wrong with me. This is the book that after reading the first couple of pages, I had tears of relief streaming down my face and I went out to my husband in the living room and said "I am not crazy. I'm really not crazy." This book was the very first step I took toward getting my life back after being debilitated by anxiety and it was what made me realize that self education and reading, reading, reading were vital parts of an anxiety recovery plan. This book literally was life changing for me and I rank it in my top 3 anxiety books. 1. Hope and Health For Your Nerves 2. Master Your Panic 3. From Panic to Power.This is the one that has the most special place in my heart though.Lisa ScottAnxiety BloggerTheWorryGames.com

First aid kit for anxiety!

K. · April 30, 2016

This is the best book ever written on this subject although parts of it can be triggering. Read when you need the help, not when you don't. Like a first aid kit for anxiety sufferers.

Everyone suffering should read

G.S. · June 11, 2013

Anybody suffering from anxiety and panic attacks, or if they aren't sure what it is they have, should read this book - within no time, they'll be describing your symptoms down to a tee - enlightening and a huge, huge relief to read things that you then find out are quite typical and common - worth its weight in gold
