This book is written by researchers and therapists with knowledge and practical experience, and it shows. It's balanced and responsible, cites throughout to research literature on panic disorder and its treatment, and is realistic about the difficulty and discomfort of some of the exercises it recommends.

The book focuses on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)-based exercises designed to help panic sufferers reduce their fear of panic-based symptoms and situations, based in the theory that panic attacks are exacerbated by fear of, and excessive self-monitoring for, panic-related physical symptoms. It is forthright in its conclusion that CBT has a better long-term success rate than medication alone for treatment, but it is also honest in its recognition that medication, or medication in combination with CBT, are also effective.

I don't suffer from serious panic problems myself, but I feel like this book could be useful to those who do, both as a self-help regimen and a way of determining whether professional intervention is needed.

If you're looking for some basic information and exercises to practice, this is a helpful little book. However, if you don't have a diagnosed Panic disorder this is not going to be super helpful. But, the knowledge in this book could be relevant to any one starting therapy.

I have suffered from Panic Disorder for about 2 years now and I found this book to be very helpful as just a good quick read, or as a workbook. They discussed the many forms of anxiety and panic and how it ties together with depression and agoraphobia. It also discusses medications and their own solutions to overcome or help with the disorder.
What I really enjoyed about this book is how it wasn't frightening to read. Most people with this disorder get scared reading or hearing about side effects, diseases, or things that "could happen". This book went over all the symptoms in a very comforting way, believe it or not. I even found that a lot of things I have been experiencing were because of stress and anxiety, and I never knew it! Like blurred vision, hunger pains, and even tingling feelings. That was comforting to know. I am in a support group for Panic, Anxiety and Agoraphobia and I will recommend this book to the entire group. It is less than 200 pages, and it really helped me with tools to help with this disorder.

This little book is an excellent resource for those struggling with panic/anxiety disorders. This is easily the most concise and easy to read book I've ever read on the subject - and, believe me, I've read many over the years!

More about full swing panic disorder than the title suggests. Highly practical, well grounded, concise and readable. Not so simple to apply, especially for self-helpers going solo, I guess.

Some decent strategies to use in your panic attack ass-kicking arsenal.
