Self-help for Fear and Anger

My new book, Self-help for Fear and Anger, explains an effective program which provides help for anxiety and anger. The Cognitive Behavioral Therapy system is highly regarded by health professionals. The book is available on Amazon.com for $8 plus $4 shipping. About the program:

“The self-help methods of Recovery, Inc., continue to reduce suffering, disability and relapse among thousands of patients and former patients with nervous or mental disorders. While the Recovery principles are simple, the underlying wisdom is enduring; and many will find hope and courage amidst these practical guidelines for coping with everyday life.”
Mark R. Hansen, M.D.
Chair, Division of Adult Psychiatry
Mayo Clinic

”Dr. Abraham Low understood the wisdom of citizens groups' active participation in the mental illness field long before it became popular. By honoring good psychiatric treatment and active patient and family involvement in the process, we also honor Dr. Low.”
Melvin Sabshin, M.D.
Former Medical Director, American Psychiatric Association
Clinical Professor of Psychiatry,
University of Maryland School of Medicine

”Abraham Low's words continue to enrich the lives of tens of thousands of people who might otherwise have been irreparably damaged by mental illness. He created Recovery, Inc., and decades ahead of his time, he pioneered what I believe to be to this day the quintessential non-professional Support System.”
Gerald Caplan, M.D.
Scientific Director
Jerusalem Institute for the Study of Psychological Stress

In his work in establishing Recovery, Inc., Dr. Low provided not only hope, but treatment as well, for a vast number of recovering mentally ill persons. He taught them the method and the process of self-help. He gifted them with the confidence that they could participate actively in their own recovery.

Recovery, Inc., emphasizes self-leadership; that is, taking responsibility for oneself. It does not foster dependency...I have never seen a patient nor heard of one who was harmed by Recovery.
Dana M. Sheldon, M.D.
Psychiatrist
Spruce Head, Maine

Dr. Low worked his wonders by reducing techniques to such simplicity one could change a whole lifetime of beliefs and behavior by following surprisingly easy guidelines.

I've referred some 200 patients to Recovery. Most of them continued simultaneously under my care...This concurrent group, as a whole, showed better progress than non-participants. There was more rapid symptomatic improvement; less self-consciousness and embarrassment; a greater sense of pride, accomplishment and degree of commitment; better coping behavior; accelerated social rehabilitation; and less tendency to decompensate under stress.
Stanley R. Dean, M.D.

Miami, Florida

Recovery was years ahead of its time in incorporating cognitive treatment into the management of mental illness. It also illustrates the remarkable capacity of a cohesive and supportive group to provide remission from psychological distress.
Marc Galanter, M.D.
Professor of Psychiatry
New York University Medical Center

Dr. Low provided clear methods to help people come to grips with their disorders, and he insisted on destigmatizing their conditions. He worked to restore morale and commitment in the context of developing mastery and self-control. His strategies are the strategies of rehabilitation.
Boris M. Astrachan, M.D.
Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry
University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine

Recovery, Inc., differing from other groups in being started by a psychiatrist, also more systematically integrates self-help as an active concept into its program.
Donald T. Lee, M.S.W., A.C.S.W.

In the structured format that Low designed for Recovery, Inc., meetings, members learn to identify self-defeating and illness-promoting thoughts and impulses and counter them with self-endorsing thoughts and wellness-promoting actions.
Peter Murray, M.D.
Chief, Psychiatric Emergency and Intake Service
Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic
University of Pittsburgh Medical Center

Dr. Low developed a remarkable method of self-help which has given relief to thousands of people suffering from emotional stress and/or handicaps. I believe this method should be studied by all mental health professionals and caregivers so that its benefits may be extended to as many people as possible.
Milton Greenblatt, M.D. (deceased)
Professor of Psychiatry
UCLA

[Abraham Low was] a real pioneer in what is now a significant partnership in helping individuals who are ill, in helping families understand the illness of their loved ones and in reducing stigma and educating the public. Dr. Low foresaw this years ago and is to be recognized and honored for his work, albeit posthumously.
George H. Pollock, M.D., Ph.D.
Professor of Psychiatry Emeritus
Northwestern University Medical School

With the enrichment from this support, therapy is accelerated, its overall cost is reduced and the duration of morbidity is decreased....For some of my patients, it has been the difference between their being able to function in society or being chronically disabled by illness....Recovery is complementary to therapy and not competitive with it.
