Product Description:
Anxiety and depression are facts of life, but you don't have to live with them! Single parenthood. Marriage problems. AIDS. Sexual freedom. Divorce. Career demands. The glass ceiling. Run with the Wolves or play by The Rules. Pro-life. Choice. Alternative lifestyles. No wonder women are anxious and depressed. Never before have women been confronted with so many bewildering choices and so many incessant demands. How do women cope? How can they defeat self-defeating attitudes and actions? How can they conquer their fears, win the battle with anxiety and triumph over depression? Women & Anxiety, very first published in 1979, is now completely revised and updated for the 1990s. Women & Anxiety offers readers a new, dynamic, and easy-to-use strategy for dealing with the problems of stress, anxiety, and depression. In an inspiring and practical style, noted psychiatrist Dr. Helen DeRosis will show women of yesterday how to manage anxiety in an easy step-by-step program. With sensible suggestions and solutions, this book will show you how to turn anxiety into a positive force in your life and how to learn to channel it in healthy and constructive ways.
Amazon.com Review:
Women and Anxiety: A Step-by-Step Program for Managing Anxiety and Depression is a 'self-help guide for recovery of your well-being,' designed to empower you to take control 'in a new, hopeful way, rather than with old, hurtful patterns.' This book aims to help you understand the basis of your troublesome feelings and become less enraged, guilt ridden, and pessimistic by using the author's 20-step program.
Everyone suffers from anxiety, says author DeRosis, a psychiatrist specializing in women's mental health. It becomes a problem when it is excessive and causes suffering and/or incapacitation. DeRosis teaches you to see anxiety as a signal of inner conflict that you can resolve, and to harness your restless energy productively.
She examines anxiety's underlying emotions, such as anger, perfectionist expectations, marital dissatisfaction, and role or age transitions. The 20-step program helps you expose the conflicts that create anxiety, and then change features of your life. You deal with only one 'trouble point' at a time, so that you can clarify and resolve an issue, make a change, and create a sense of accomplishment. Case studies illustrate how several women worked through these steps, so you can follow their examples. --Joan Price

There are some excellent and helpful secular books on women and anxiety. This one covers much of the same ground but from a clearly Biblical perspective. Furthermore, the hope offered here makes this an outstanding resource for Christian women. The book can also help men suffering from the same affliction.

For some reason I had hoped for this book to have a magic solution or one important thing that I would need to change in order to reduce the level of anxiety in my life. Had that been true, she certainly would not have needed two hundred and eighty-nine pages to tell me. Sadly, but now seemingly apparent enough, I will have to work for a decrease in the level of anxiety in my life. Imagine that! The very first part of the book does a good job of explaining anxiety, going over the symptoms and really getting you clued into yourself and how you show anxiety or what causes anxiety in your life. It also contains some great advice for women and their lowering self-images of today. The second part of the book contains a twenty step method of questioning yourself on one issue that is causing you significant anxiety. Dr. DeRosis has included many examples of using the steps as well as different anxiety producing situations in which people have found themselves. There were a few situations, such as the one with the emotionally impaired student, that seemed a bit far-fetched, but she still made her point in illustrating the steps taken. I have readied my response notebook with the twenty questions for my subsequent anxiety issue. I have no comments on the effectiveness of the program, of yet, but I'm sure it is reflective of one of this books underlying themes. You get what you put into it. You put in nothing, you get nothing!

I found this book very helpful in allowing me me to understand what sorts of beliefs and thought patterns can contribute to overwhelming feelings of anxiety.
I've had to live with anxiety as a big part of my life for the last six years now. In fact, I just passed the sixth anniversary of my very first full-blown panic attack. For anyone who's had a panic disorder, you know how frightening it is and how alone it can make you feel. This book gives you some hope, because it helps you to understand at least partly why you're feeling the things you're feeling. You're not crazy, and you're not going to die (even if you're sure you are--I was pretty sure I was going to die almost everday for the last six years, but I'm still here).
This book is written for women, but most of the physchological insights apply just as well to men. I'm a 27 year old man and I found this book extremely helpful. I definitely recommend it to anyone who has experienced debilitating anxiety and panic firsthand. I also think it would be a good read for anyone who just wants to understand human behavior and negative thought tendacies better. In helping us to understand and clearly see the unrealistic expectations that we all carry around in our heads, De Rosis points the way to living an easier, simpler, happier life.
