Yes definitely, this book should not be confused with treatment. It is rather a practical guide to help you get things in check and keep your opinions open while getting professional help.

If your anxiety level is a minimum touch and go this book can be sufficient to guide you. However, if your own treatment guided by the book does not improve the condition, you must seek professional help.

Yes, that is a very good point to make. many times getting an appointment is difficult or many other problems may arise which can make you unable to visit a doctor immediately. In those cases, this book can serve as a major help.

Yes, especially the tables and guidelines mentioned at the end of the book do a great job of providing general guidance.

From my understanding and analysis of this book, Kinrys practical remedies act as a replacement for the stressor. If for example, the stress is in your workplace, building better relationships with your co-workers, replaces the thought of the working environment being a stress factor.

The other reason is that the author includes numerous options to choose from.
