14.1. Additional Material
In Chapter 14, we describe applications of PE therapy for clients with depression, post-trauma difficulties, and borderline processes. In addition, we are familiar with the use of PE or related experiential therapies for several other client problems (see review in Elliott, Greenberg & Lietaer, 2004). These include:
•Panic and other anxiety disorders (e.g., Shear, Pilkonis, Cloitre & Leon, 1994; Wolfe & Sigl, 1998)
•Substance Abuse (Korman & Bolger, 2000; Miller & Rollnick, 2002)
•Domestic violence offending (Wolfus & Bierman, 1996)
•Schizophrenia (Tarrier et al., 1998. 2000; Teusch, 1990)
•Health-related problems (e.g., coping with cancer:
Katonah, 1998; Spiegel, Bloom & Yalom, 1981; HIV: Mulder et al., 1994;
psychosomatic problems: Sachse, 1998; and weight problems: Holstein, 1990)
