Samenvatting:

The first professional guide to diagnosing and treating emetophobia. Each chapter includes case studies demonstrating various presentations of emetophobia and illustrates aspects of diagnosis and treatment in practice.

A fear of vomiting is estimated to impact 119 million adults, teenagers, and children in the English-speaking world. This much-needed guide to the diagnosis and treatment of emetophobia includes an overview of current literature and research, in addition to illuminating case studies of different presentations.

It contains guidance on how to employ evidence-based treatments, specifically CBT and exposure and response prevention (ERP), as well as other approaches to treatment, such as ACT for all ages.

The arsenal of research and experience, both professional and personal, provided by Clinical Psychologist Dr David Russ and Registered Clinical Counsellor Anna S. Christie makes this book a must-have for mental health professionals treating emetophobia.
