Angst

What should be done when worries and fears interfere with the daily lives of patients? When a patient suddenly has a great fear of their partner's death? When a patient develops fears that their illness will significantly worsen?

Fear protects and warns us of dangerous situations and risks. However, when it becomes overwhelming, it can lead to significant distress, avoidance behavior, and social isolation. The authors demonstrate how to work effectively and creatively with fear in psychotherapy, even independent of diagnosed anxiety disorders, with a distinctly resilience-oriented perspective.

Contents include: Fear as a threat or challenge, guideline-oriented recommendations, transdiagnostic approaches, resource-oriented and trauma therapeutic interventions, fear in life-threatening illnesses, reflection on psychotherapeutic practice.
