Phobias A Handbook of Theory, Research and Treatment Edited by Graham C. L. Davey University of Sussex, UK
* A complete summary of current knowledge about phobias, for the academic and clinician
* First comprehensive handbook on the topic for 10 years
* The latest research and findings presented in a single source
* Contributions from eminent international clinicians and researchers
Psychological treatments available for specific phobias have been refined considerably in recent years. This extensive handbook acknowledges these treatments and includes the description and nature of prevalent phobias, details of symptoms, prevalence rates, individual case histories, and a brief review of our knowledge of the aetiology of phobias. Key knowledge about phobias is brought together in this one critical and accessible handbook, which saves the busy clinician time and provides an authoritative guide to the literature. It is systematically compiled to act as a working tool providing an integrated, contemporary account of prevalent specific phobias, their treatment and theoretical issues concerning aetiology. The Handbook also reflects the important role of cognitive factors in psychopathology which generate and maintain phobic disorders, a process that is now recognized as important in their understanding and treatment. "The joy of Davey's book is that it skillfully blends the historical conditioning theory perspective with current cognitive-behaviour theories . the result is a complete summary of current knowledge about phobias, for clinicians and researchers . an invaluable handbook and an essential summary of the status of theory, research and treatment in phobias. It is highly recommended to researchers and to both novice and experienced clinicians." Roz Shafran, Behaviour Research and Therapy

Indexes.
For a practitioner who wants to improve her or his treatment of phobic patients, this book remains an excellent summary of specific treatment methods. In addition to well-explained models of cognitive treatment of social phobia and agoraphobia, this is one of the few sources for more specific phobia treatments: water phobia, injection phobia with fainting, and accident phobia, to give three. On the treatment end this book includes a description of somatic tension as a method for treating phobias that involve fainting, and also Lars-Goran Ost's single-session treatment of specific phobias. Indeed, the latter two are the reasons I bought the book. Even though 12 years old, this remains a valuable clinical resource.

As a psychologist specialising in phobias, I found this book brilliant. If you are after a self-help book for treating your phobia, then this book is definately not for you. This academic based book provides great information on all aspects of phobias e.g. origins, prevalence, which type of therapy is best - exposure vs medication, and different types of phobias. It also has a good overview of more unique phobias such as clown masks, vomiting and choking. From here it gives great references so you can further expand your knowledge on the area or phobia you want to know more about. If you read this book cover to cover, you are sure to come out being an expert in phobias. A must for any therapist serious about treating phobias.
