"…easy to understand and very informative... quickly provides the
readers with the tools necessary to begin taking control of their panic,
then moves into providing the readers with a basic understanding of why
they experience panic attacks. Once the readers examine this material,
they then move into a step-by-step approach to overcoming their panic
attacks. I recommend this
highly for the clinician who works with clients who have panic disorder
or, of course, for the client themselves."

"When I
read through the book I was most impressed... So, I decided to give it the
acid test. I loaned it to... a man who suffers from a classic case of
panic disorder. He came in the following week absolutely raving about how
wonderful your book was, how helpful it was, and how it was by far and
away the best book he has ever read on the subject...
"As a
therapist, I am delighted to have learned of a book which I can use with
my anxiety and panic disorder patients.
"As a
professor, I look forward to the opportunity to utilize your book as a
text, or as recommended reading for some of my courses..."

"This is a
well thought-out, well presented book which should be of enormous help,
especially to those who do not live in areas where effective treatment is
easily obtainable. It covers all of the areas of rehabilitation from panic
and does it well, incorporating the techniques presently considered to be
the most effective treatment available."

"The
minute I finished reading (Master Your Panic and Take Back Your Life),
I wanted to hop right on a plane and fly out to meet with Dr. Beckfield in
person. It is written with unbelievable understanding and compassion. I
keep a copy at home and work. It comes in handy for me and also for others
who may try to understand their condition...
"I
recommend the book highly to anyone with panic and anxiety. It's a
magnificient book."
— M.L.,
a reader in Clearwater Beach, FL

"An
excellent guide for those suffering from anxiety disorders. Very clear
descriptions of sound treatments... an excellent discussion of the 'roots
of panic.' Addresses what most other books on this topic neglect: the
important role of emotional factors, personality characteristics, and life
experiences... This book is highly recommended."
