Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has proven to be the most effective form of treatment for social anxiety disorder. This revision of a highly regarded treatment manual presents an original treatment approach that includes specifically designed interventions to strengthen the relevant CBT strategies. This extensively revised volume builds upon empirical research to address the psychopathology and heterogeneity of social anxiety disorder, creating a series of specific interventions with numerous case examples and four new chapters on working with patients on medication, cultural factors, individual therapy, and monitoring on-track outcomes.
"-detailed description of use as individual therapy will be new and unique and valued as will the section on working with patients on medication. This book will be useful for clinicians in practice as well as trainees in psychological grad school."-Mark Pollack, MD
"I recommend publishing this book for the reasons outlined above. The authors are leaders in CBT and have developed a text that is based on the latest research while keeping in mind that patients present differently, thus requiring an intervention that meets their needs and preferences. How to refine CBT applications to best work with patients to help them achieve their goals is what this book is all about."-Jasper Smits, PhD, professor of psychology, U Texas at Austin.
