| Summary |
This therapist guide and the companion workbook for clients address the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). This disorder occurs in approximately 4% of the population (about two-thirds of them female), but is underrecognized and undertreated. With its characteristic symptoms of uncontrollable, unstoppable worry about upcoming events, accompanied by chronic tension, fatigue, irritability, and difficulty sleeping, GAD can cause significant impairment. The Mastery of Your Anxiety and Worry (MAW) program is designed to be presented in ten or more separate sessions that may be conducted either individually or in small groups |
