Intensive One-Session Treatment of Specific Phobias

From the reviews:

“The current text is indeed a welcome addition to the literature because of its breadth of coverage but also because it provides an up-to-date overview of the literature. … For therapists who regularly treat clients with specific phobias, the text really is a must have. … For those with a more academic or research interest in the treatment of specific phobias, not only does the text provide an up-to-date overview of OST research, but it also highlights where gaps remain.” (Robert J. Edelmann, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 58 (7), February, 2013)
