The Clinical Guide to Exposure Therapy is a comprehensive resource that offers evidence-based guidance on incorporating and tailoring exposure therapy for patients with problems beyond fear and its disorders. Exposure therapy, a relatively easy-to-implement intervention, has proven to be highly effective in addressing various mental health conditions. This clinicians guide aims to enhance the reach and effectiveness of clinicians by providing chapters on considerations for deviating from standard exposure protocols when patients present with comorbid psychiatric or medical conditions. Additionally, it explores how exposure therapy can be used to treat conditions that do not primarily revolve around fear or anxiety, such as eating disorders, obesity, depression, substance use disorders, and chronic pain. By complementing existing resources on exposure therapy for anxiety disorders, this volume offers valuable guidance on issues related to the planning and implementation of exposure interventions more broadly. This clinical guide is an essential resource for advanced trainees and clinicians who are providing exposure therapy for complex comorbidities and unique populations.
