"Written for clients, this workbook teaches us that social anxiety is a normal part of life, but it can sometimes have a negative impact. The important question is not whether someone experiences social anxiety, but to what degree and how often. The term "social anxiety disorder" describes the distress and interference that comes along with severe social anxiety. Information is presented on the nature of social anxiety, empirically supported cognitive-behavioral techniques used to treat it, how to best implement these techniques, and how to deal with the problems that arise during treatment. The authors strive to offer a complete treatment that is informed by individual case conceptualization within an evidence-based practice framework. This third edition includes case examples that represent a diversity of clients across race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, and gender identity. social anxiety, social anxiety disorder, cognitive-behavioral techniques, implement, problems, case conceptualization, evidence-based practice, diversity"--
