Evidence-Based Treatment Planning for Social Anxiety Disorder

Bruce and Jongsma begin with a clinical review of social anxiety disorder’s features as outlined in the DSM, along with the main performance and interactional situations that trigger symptoms. Their brief survey of the EST movement covers historical benchmarks as well as the development of the latest empirically supported treatments (ESTs) for SAD. They also provide a detailed description of their six-step treatment planning process, with the goal of helping you create a plan consistent with these approaches.

In addition to sample treatment plans, you’ll find a series of live demonstrations highlighting key elements of several well-established ESTs. You’ll observe interventions from cognitive restructuring, anxiety management, psychoeducation, and other proven approaches, along with expert commentary from Bruce and Jongsma, who compare and contrast methods as they evaluate what you’ve just seen. Definitions, goals, and relapse prevention are covered too, for a well-rounded set of tools you can use to maximize success while meeting professional requirements.

Packed with useful information, this video is a comprehensive guide to evidence-based social anxiety treatment. Look no further if you want to inform your casework with the latest approaches or build empirically sound treatment plans with confidence.
