Individuals with social phobia experience excessive and irrational fear of social situations or performance situations where they may be confronted by unfamiliar people or judged by others. This volume presents a treatment manual for psychodynamic short-term therapy for social phobia. It begins by describing the disorder of social phobia and explaining relevant models and theories of the disorder. The subsequent chapters outline a treatment approach based on Luborsky's supportive-expressive therapy. The goal of the treatment is to understand the patient's central relationship conflict theme (ZBKT), provide insight into it, and enable a more flexible handling of their own desires and interactions with others. The book is rich in practical examples and includes numerous interventions.
