The authors offer suggestions and techniques, based on extensive research on the treatment of anxiety, to help students cope more effectively with the common sources of anxiety. In addition, the book describes the most common and debilitating anxiety disorders (such as panic attacks, phobias, and obsessive-compulsive disorder) that affect more than 10% of Americans and most frequently have their onset during the college years."--BOOK JACKET.
