The standard clinical handbook on stress management, edited by Paul Lehrer and Robert Woolfolk. After chapters on what stress is and how it shows up in the body, leading practitioners each explain one method: what it involves, the evidence for it, and how to use it with patients. Psychophysiological methods, including biofeedback, neurofeedback and breathing work, sit alongside relaxation, meditation and mindfulness, hypnosis and cognitive therapy.
For clinicians who want to choose the right method for each patient and combine them well. The fourth edition is largely new, with chapters on children and adolescents, choosing methods for an individual, and carbon dioxide biofeedback.
