I enjoy teaching and helping others. There are few things more satisfying than seeing someone grasp something that was difficult or overcome a difficulty they had been struggling with. This is the goal of my writing: to provide quality material that others find useful. As a pioneer in working with anxiety-disorders I wanted to publish a book based on the multimodal approach I was using and which, over time, became the standard approach used in the field. My other books reflect areas I've had passion for. 

My work has been embraced by many self-help groups and clinics addressing anxiety-related problems who have selected it from among a host of others on the market as the basis for their programs. The Anxiety Disorders Association of America (ADAA), the nation's primary organization for anxiety-related problems, invited me to speak at eleven national conferences. My first book, "Anxiety, Phobias & Panic" has sold over 200,000 copies.
