The treatment of anxiety disorders in the Clinical Research Unit for Anxiety Disorders began in 1978 when the

Agoraphobia Treatment Progran was set up at Prince Henry Hospital. Since then, various programs have been developed for other anxiety disorders, especially Social Phobia, Panic Disorder, Generalised Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and Specific Phobias. Several people have contributed to the writing of the treatment manuals for the various programs. These are: Gavin Andrews, Rocco Crino, John Franklin, Caroline Hunt, Stephen McMahon, Richard Mattick, Carmen Moran, Andrew Page and Susan Tanner. In addition, various books have been useful in obtaining ideas regarding treatment; these are cited at the end of this manual. We would like to acknowledge the work of the Centre for Stress and Anxiety Disorders, University of Albany, State University of New York, and the University of Oxford, Department of Psychiatry. Much useful material from the Anxiety and Panic program devised by David Barlow and Michelle Craske has been used in the development of the present treatment manual. The present version of this manual was edited by John Lam- Po-Tang and Stephanie Rosser, and represents the state of treatment in 1999. Most of the following books are available from large bookshops (e.g. Dymocks, Angus and Robertson), as well as University Co-op. Bookshops (Bay Street Co-op., Broadway, and the University of New South Wales Coop Bookshop, Kensington) and other selected bookshops. We also suggest that you try to use your local library to gain access to many of these books. These books are suggested as additional references and serve only as guidelines. Be critical in a positive and negative sense when you read these or other books on the management of anxiety, so that you get what is best for you out of them.
