Provides in an effective new way to treat anxiety disorders that shows how, by evaluating the specific needs of a client and selecting appropriate approaches from several different therapeutic methods, one can identify and treat the specific emotional basis for a particular anxiety. This research-informed and clinically tested approach to helping clients resolve anxiety disorders will be of great interest to mental health practitioners of all orientations.

For the past 30 years, Dr. Wolfe has been in private practice in the Bethesda-Rockville area, where he specializes in the treatment of anxiety and mood disorders, marital therapy, and therapy for life transitions. Through his clinical experience and his intimate knowledge of psychotherapy research, Dr. Wolfe became interested in the integration of the psychotherapies. This interest reached its fruition when Dr. Wolfe became a founding member of the Society for the Exploration of Psychotherapy Integration, (SEPI), an organization devoted to the development of the best approaches to psychotherapy, independent of theoretical orientation. A native of Washington, D.C., Dr. Wolfe completed his undergraduate work at Howard University in 1963 and received his Ph.D. from the University of Florida in 1970.
