About this title

Synopsis

There can be no better example of mind/body integration than the use of exercise to improve mental health. There is substantial evidence that exercise can be used to depression, treat anxiety and panic, enhance cognition, reduce stress, and enhance psychological resilience. This workbook can be used as a stand-alone treatment, as an addition to other ongoing treatment, or as a strategy to extend gains or prevent relapse following success with a prior treatment.

The motivational strategies in this workbook offer a fresh way to approach exercise and make the program work for each individual's lifestyle. In addition to information on how to start and maintain an exercise program, this workbook comes complete with worksheets and logs for scheduling and tracking physical activity. Exercise-based treatment and the guidance provided by this workbook helps to improve mood, reduce anxiety, and achieve better cognition, along with promoting a general sense of psychological resilience (including specialty applications such as using exercise to aid smoking cessation).

Fully updated to reflect new research and organized in an easy-to-use session-by-session format, this new edition will be a valuable resource and powerful tool for readers who want to enhance their lives through exercise.
