Too simplistic, Mar 29 2007
By BS Critic - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Self-Help for Hyperventilation Syndrome: Recognizing and Correcting Your Breathing Pattern Disorder (Paperback)
I found this book to be too simplistic. The information is accurate but weak on ways to correct the problem. As a psychologist who treats anxiety and hyperventilation, I guess I was expecting too much. I always hope for some new technique or way of explaining things that will be useful with clients, or even a book I would recommend to clients. About the only thing I found potentially useful were the workbook forms at the end of the book.
This book might be helpful to someone with almost no knowledge of hyperventilation. But then the person would probably be much better of in treatment with a knowledgeable biofeedback therapist or anxiety specialist. Also, the author's emphasis on physical therapists as breathing experts is peculiar to New Zealand. PTs in the US would not be my first choice to treat hyperventilation or anxiety. I'd look for a mental health or biofeedback professional with experience in treating anxiety and hyperventilation.

Not practical enough, April 15 2011
By Thomas Kusen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Self-Help for Hyperventilation Syndrome: Recognizing and Correcting Your Breathing Pattern Disorder (Paperback)
This book is OK, but it is too drawn out and simplistic in its approach. I've read many articles about Hyperventilation Syndrome and have researched the topic for many years. My recovery is largely attributable to the specific information provided in another resource titled Hope and Help for Hyperventilation Syndrome although I forget the author's name at this point. It provides much more practical advice.

Just what I needed, July 14 2009
By Christopher W. Morris - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Self-Help for Hyperventilation Syndrome: Recognizing and Correcting Your Breathing Pattern Disorder (Paperback)
It took me years to find a resource like this. It addressed my breathing problem reasonably and helped me to see how to go about correcting it!
