Cleverly thoughtful and chock-full of easy-to-read and practical advice, Dr. van Ingen has successfully given both clinicians and consumers valuable tools and insights to address one of the mental health fields most common and challenging psychiatric disorders--Anxiety. The book (“Anxiety Disorders Made Simple: Treatment Approaches to Overcome Fear and Build Resiliency”) makes a laudable contribution to the application and treatment of anxiety disorders by extracting often heavily theoretical ideas and perspectives, and translating them into meaningful and common-sense clinical strategies and techniques. With a robust array of clinical examples and pertinent vignettes that skillfully illustrate a wide-spectrum of anxiety-based disorders, Dr. van Ingen has proven himself to be not only a sophisticated clinician, but also an inspiring teacher. His book has a fresh approach that is delightfully “laser beam” in its focus and execution. Above all, it offers a wealth of practicality and wisdom that makes it a “must-read” for anyone interested in dealing with the challenges of anxiety and its complex manifestations.
