"The Mindfulness & Acceptance Workbook for Anxiety"

Researchers at the University at Albany – SUNY are looking for participants in an online research study.  The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of a new self-help workbook for people who are suffering from anxiety-related problems -- "The Mindfulness & Acceptance Workbook for Anxiety,"  written by John P. Forsyth, Ph.D. and Georg H. Eifert, Ph.D.   Here's what they say about the book:

"The workbook we are using has one purpose:  to help you live better, more fully, more richly. Your life is calling on you to make that choice, and the skills in this workbook can help you make it happen. Find out how your mind can trap you, keeping you stuck and struggling in anxiety and fear.  Learn to nurture your capacity for acceptance, mindfulness, kindness, and compassion.  Using these qualities to shift your focus away from anxiety and onto what you really want your life to be about. As you do, your life will get bigger as your anxious suffering gets smaller. No matter hat kind of anxiety problem you’re struggling with, this workbook can guide you toward a more vibrant and purposeful life. "
