Praise for Overcoming Agoraphobia
“Melissa Murphy has written a book that is extremely significant for the well-being of sufferers from Agoraphobia, the enlightenment of professionals, family and friends and the public at large.
The insight into this debilitating illness is first class and the information contained is comprehensive, sensible and also revealing from a personal viewpoint. I would recommend this book to anyone who is struggling against the tide of fear and ignorance. It will help them to get their problems into perspective and greatly improve the construction of their road to recovery.”
