INDIVIDUALS
"Your book is simply excellent. As with the previous
edition of this book, my patients strongly prefer it to
other current, well-known books on panic disorder and
anxiety. Thank you for being willing to address the too
long established bias against longterm benzo (diazepine)
use in some patients (with panic disorder)."
Barbara C. Chamberlin, M.D
Memphis, Tennessee
"Your revised edition stands on the shoulders of its
predecessor to permit patients to see even more clearly
the nature of panic disorder and the medical treatments
that are so often helpful. I'll be recommending it to my
patients."

a major contribution."

conversational tone. And it updates and
expands on the medical treatment of the disorder. A
valuable addition to the literature for the public."

" The 1995 edition of your book, Panic Disorder -
The Medical Point of View, is bigger and
better than ever. I found it to be very accurate,
informative and easy to read. The many case
histories were particularly informative and your chapter
on benzodiazepines will do much to allay unjustified and
exaggerated concerns about the use of these drugs. I
would certainly put your book on a required reading list
for anyone wanting to learn the facts about panic
disorder."

disorder."

" In the revised edition, Dr. Kernodle has added a
comprehensive section on medications and has retained all
the valuable parts of the original book. The book is
particularly strong in providing a medical perspective,
is clear and well laid out and contains state of the
field information. As a great believer in educated
consumerism, I highly recommend it."
