The therapy manual is specifically designed for the treatment of patients with social phobia and social deficits, making it suitable for implementation in both individual and group sessions. Patients particularly benefit from the combination of anxiety management and social skills training. The concept originated in the behavioral therapy outpatient clinic of the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf and has been developed further over decades. You will receive practical guidance on organizing and conducting the skills training, detailed descriptions of the concept, a guide for implementation, solutions for potential difficulties during execution, answers to frequently asked questions, as well as information on current treatment recommendations and diagnostic tools. The 2nd edition has been revised, expanded, and updated.
