Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Overcoming Anxiety For Dummies
Elaine Iljon Foreman · 2007
62/100
👎 Skip It
Written by real clinical psychologists, this UK 'For Dummies' entry covers a lot of ground - panic, phobias, OCD, PTSD - through three practical angles you can actually try. It's a solid broad primer, but that breadth comes at the cost of depth, and I couldn't find much beyond publisher copy to confirm how it lands with real readers.
