The Human Givens Approach Series is a new range of books, each of which explores a recognised psychological or behavioural problem and shows in clear, non-jargonistic language how to treat it effectively with psychological interventions. How to master anxiety is the third title in the series, the previous two were How to lift depression ... fast and Freedom from Addiction: The secret behind successful addiction busting. Other future titles will cover: anger, psychosis, disturbed children, self-harming, antisocial behaviour, workplace stress and parenting. (The series is part of a larger nationwide effort to move counselling, psychotherapy and education away from ideology and more into line with scientific findings about how the brain works and what people really need to live fulfilling lives.)
