Anxiety Disorders

Drs. Stephen M. Stahl and Bret A. Moore have created an instant classic in Anxiety Disorders: A Guide for Integrating Psychopharmacology and Psychotherapy. Anxiety Disorders is a comprehensive reference for the psychiatry and psychology student, intern, or resident, early career psychiatrist or psychologist, and the busy clinician. It distills the most important information regarding combined treatments for anxiety and presents the material in an easily accessible, understandable, and readable format. Each chapter addresses a specific type of disorder: PTSD, panic, generalized anxiety, obsessive-compulsive and other disorders, and is authored by prominent clinicians with years of experience in providing integrated, individualized treatments. With its thorough exploration of psychopharmacological treatments, psychosocial treatments, and, crucially, the integration of the two, Anxiety Disorders is a text no 21st-century clinician or student can afford to be without.

Stephen M. Stahl, MD, is the author of over 450 articles and chapters and more than 1,300 scientific presentations and abstracts. He is an internationally recognized clinician, researcher, and teacher in psychiatry with subspecialty expertise in psychopharmacology. He has edited eight books and written more than 30 others, including the best-selling and award-winning textbook Stahl's Essential Psychopharmacology, the clinical manual The Prescriber's Guide, now in its fourth edition, and the series of clinical cases Case Studies: Stahl's Essential Psychopharmacology. Dr. Stahl is adjunct professor of psychiatry at the University of California San Diego and honorary visiting senior fellow at the University of Cambridge. Bret A. Moore, PsyD, is board-certified in clinical psychology by the American Board of Professional Psychology, and adjunct associate professor in psychiatry at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. He is the author or editor of nine books, including Pharmacotherapy for Psychologists: Prescribing and Collaborative Roles, Handbook of Clinical Psychopharmacology for Psychologists, and Treating PTSD in Military Personnel: A Clinical Handbook. His views and opinions on clinical psychology have been quoted in USA Today, the New York Times, the Boston Globe, and on NPR, the BBC, CNN, Fox News, and the CBC.
