Social phobia, or social anxiety disorder, is among the most common (and
debilitating) of the anxiety disorders, and at any given time it effects somewhere
between 3 and 5% of the US population, with similar statistics found in countries
around the world. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has been demonstrated to be
the most effective form of treatment for social phobia, but research has shown that
conventional CBT principles and general interventions fall short of the mark.

With this in mind, Hofmann and Otto have composed an organized treatment approach
that includes specifically designed interventions to strengthen the relevant CBT
strategies.This volume builds upon empirical research to address the psychopathology
and heterogeneity of social phobia, creating a series of specific interventions with
numerous case examples.
