I've been a psychologist for over two decades. People come to see me for answers. Over the years, I’ve discovered that people want quick answers. In the last several years I’ve discovered people don’t even want to spend time reading self-help books. I’m told they’re too long.

A while ago a client with severe anxiety suggested I write a concise book about It. She wanted something to remember what we did in therapy, among other things. She said the book should be pithy (full of “substance”) but not lengthy. It should be to the point, not too technical and written in everyday language. It should have everything one needs to diagnose anxiety using my experience.

I thought of some other things. It should have rating scales and charts for do-it-yourself types. It should be easy to understand. It should have the latest research and represent the current standards of care. There should be treatment options. It should be cheaper than a self-help book and easier to obtain (as in a download). It should be a stand-alone product, not just a text to go along with therapy. It should speed up therapy, since what’s in the book is what I present in the office.

So, I spent a year writing just such an ebook, by hand, in between clients. I also got lazy and let it sit for another five years. Then, last year another client said, “You should write a book about anxiety ....” Okay, okay. I transcribed my original work, brought it up to speed with the current Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (psychology’s Bible). I had it reviewed by a colleague and lots of clients, just to make sure it is as I’m describing it. It is.

If you’re going to start therapy for anxiety, consider first downloading my ebook. If you’re not sure, that’s okay, too. During the course of our experience together, you’ll hear at least some of what is in the ebook but I’ve found that progress is greatly accelerated when you have advanced information even before coming to the office. ("Chance favors the prepared mind.") If you click on the title on the right of this page, you will be linked to my website where you can get more information and download it.

HOW TO DIAGNOSE AND TREAT YOUR ANXIETY

This year another client said, “You should write a book about changing children’s behavior.” Well, I am a child psychologist and in the office I do talk a lot about how to deal with kids. So, I wrote a second ebook. I’m getting very good reviews on this book, too.

Like the first book, I tried to write in plain language about a to-the-point (and very popular) subject. I’ve included the concepts, techniques, etc. I’ve found that work over two decades. As usual, there is also solid research and industry standard information. Also as usual, there is no fat or fluff. The ebook is cheaper than my competition (the book store) and immediately available via download. You can read more about that and check it out also by clicking on its title..
