Description

Social fears are among the most common forms of anxiety in our society. The good news is that empirical evidence shows treatment for social phobia can be highly effective in producing change, and treatment that emphasizes the learning of new skills produces more change than simple education and/or medication. Drs. Rapee and Sanderson furnish a practical treatment program whose components are based on empirically validated techniques. Structured chapter-by-chapter rather than session-by-session in recognition of the fact that every client/therapist combination will have different needs, the approach includes cognitive restructuring and attention training and is amenable to use with individuals or groups. It will be welcomed by practitioners of all orientations, particularly now in the managed care marketplace.
