"The joy of Davey's book is thatit skillfully blends the historical conditioning theory perspectivewith current cognitive-behaviour theories . the result is acomplete summary of current knowledge about phobias, for cliniciansand researchers . an invaluable handbook and an essential summaryof the status of theory, research and treatment in phobias. It ishighly recommended to researchers and to both novice andexperienced clinicians." Roz Shafran, Behaviour Research andTherapy
