Description
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.

Media Reviews
"—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.
This book, written by two of the leading clinician-scientists in the field of anxiety disorders, is a thoughtfully revised and updated version of what was already a go-to manual for practitioners wanting to provide state-of-the-art care for their patients with social anxiety disorder (SAD). It provides clear, step-by-step guidance on utilizing cognitive-behavioral interventions for SAD, and effectively embeds case examples throughout to underscore and emphasize key principles for their employment. This is a very valuable book for both the trainee wanting practical guidance as they seek to master the practice of CBT as well as for the seasoned clinician looking to sharpen their practice.

Hofmann and Otto, with groundbreaking research paving the way, have produced an easy to use but powerful and cutting-edge program for treating the devastations of social anxiety disorder that should be on every clinician’s bookshelf. Their decades of hands-on experience with this difficult problem and their compassion for those suffering from it are evident.
