Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Anxiety Cure
Robert L. DuPont · 1998
78/100
👍 Worth It
Three credentialed authors — a founding psychiatrist of the Anxiety Disorders Association of America alongside his daughter practitioners — bring both clinical depth and personal experience to six major anxiety disorders in a single volume. The exposure-therapy foundation is evidence-based and the family authorship gives it unusual warmth for a clinical guide. The 1998 date does show in some terminology, so pair it with a therapist for anything severe.
