Rating: Summary: This book is a gem Review: Over the past 10 years I have moderated support groups at a clinic in the Atlanta area for people with anxiety disorders and have recently included their caregivers. Kenneth Strong's book has become the heart of the sessions for both. It has clear explanations of the disorders, why people act as they do, very usable suggestions and is a non-intimidating size. Strong's background is evident throughout the text. He is an author, a teacher, has had generalized anxiety, panic attacks and agoraphobia and is now a caregiver to others with them. He has been there, done that and understands. What Melvin Green did with is his book for the people who have the disorders, Strong has done for the caregivers. Amanda
Rating: Summary: Great start for those in need of information Review: This is a wonderful booklet full of information. Don't let the size or the other reviews foil your attempt at getting this book. Ken writes extremely well and is very informed on all aspects of anxiety disorders and the journey to wellness.The book does not overwhelm with scientific mumbo jumbo nor does it under estimate the disorder iteself with little information. His book(let) is the perfect starting point for those suffering and/or those living with someone who is suffering from anxiety/ panic disorder. This booklet was highly recommended in my support group as the foundation in which to start in finding information and explanations on anxiety. An excellent read and a great source of support/information and a tremendous source of comfort for sufferers and their families. Keep up the great work Ken! Christine/Toronto
