  • June 1998 Newsletter
    The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Franklin Roosevelt This issue of the Newsletter focuses on panic disorder and agoraphobia. An estimated 1.5 - 3.5% of people experience panic disorder at sometime in their lives, and up to 50% of these people will also develop agoraphobia. Panic attacks frequently occur among people with other anxiety disorders, and many more people experience milder or less frequent panic symptoms. This Newsletter includes articles on panic, psychological treatments of panic disorder and comorbid panic and alcohol dependence. Stories written by people who have experienced panic and agoraphobia are also included and a section on self-help strategies and guidelines for carers and families. Thank you to all the people who have shared their experiences for this Newsletter, and to Ernie and an anonymous member for their poems on OCD. You may have noticed a new ‘motto’ which appears on the front of this Newsletter : ‘ Promoting Recovery and Empowerment’. This motto arose from a three day management review, training and planning workshop which was attended by the OCADF Committee of Management, staff and volunteers. Many positive outcomes resulted from the workshop, including the development of a 3 year strategic plan for the Foundation, identification and formalisation of standards for our services, and the emergence of a clearer vision for the Foundation. This vision was crystallised within the words of the new mission ‘motto’. We believe that these goals of promoting recovery and empowerment should be the primary focus of all the Foundation’s services, and importantly should underpin the ‘philosophy’ and standards of the OCADF.

  • What Every Therapist Needs to Know About Anxiety Disorders
    Downloaded by [New York University] at 01:46 15 August 2016 What Every Therapist Needs to Know About Anxiety Disorders What Every Therapist Needs to Know About Anxiety Disorders is an integrated and practical approach to treating anxiety disorders for general psychotherapists. What is new and exciting is its focus on changing a patient’s relationship to anxiety in order to enable enduring recovery rather than merely offering a menu of techniques for con- trolling symptoms. Neither a CBT manual nor an academic text nor a self-help book, What Every Therapist Needs to Know About Anxiety Disorders offers page after page of key insights into ways to help patients suffering from phobias, panic attacks, unwanted intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and worries. The authors offer a rich array of therapist– patient vignettes, case examples, stories, and metaphors that will complement the work of trainees and experienced clinicians of every orientation. Readers will come away from the book with a new framework for understanding some of the most frustrating clini- cal challenges in anxiety disorders, including “reassurance junkies,” endless obsessional loops, and the paradoxical effects of effort. Martin N. Seif, PhD, ABPP, cofounded the Anxiety and Depression Association of America and was a member of its board of directors from 1977 through 1991. Dr. Seif is associate director of the Anxiety and Phobia Treatment Center at White Plains Hospital and a faculty member of New York Presbyterian Hospital/Cornell Medical School. He maintains a private practice in Manhattan and Greenwich, Connecticut, and leads Free- dom to Fly, an airport-based program for fearful fl iers.

  • THE BEGINNING of the ADAA and the MODERN ERA of ANXIETY TREATMENT by Robert L
    1980: THE BEGINNING OF THE ADAA AND THE MODERN ERA OF ANXIETY TREATMENT by Robert L. DuPont, MD ADAA began as the Phobia Society of America (PSA) in 1980. It grew out of a professional environment very different from today. The anxiety disorders then were defined as “neuroses” and mental health was largely psychoanalytical. In 1978 I was seeing a few private patients in my home after I had spent the previous decade working on the problems with addiction to heroin and other drugs on a local and national level. One of my patients was a young schoolteacher who was unable to drive to and from work and she brought me an article from Glamour Magazine touting a new form of treatment for “agoraphobia” which produced dramatic benefits. Only at her insistence did I contact the psychiatrist who led this program, Manuel Zane, MD in White Plains, New York. Impressed by what I heard from him I traveled to New York to learn from the program. I was fascinated by the remarkable and rapid recoveries that I saw in the group meetings of the White Plains Phobia Program. When I came back to Washington, Dr. Zane, who was then very much in the media, referred patients to me. I needed help managing this growing practice, so I hired a young woman with a master’s degree in psychology. She had been treated for a crippling phobia of heights at a spin-off phobia program at the Roosevelt Hospital in New York. That was Jerilyn Ross, and together we founded the Phobia Program of Washington.
