Description
Keynote 04 - The Fear of Being Seen: How to Treat Social Anxieties
When we adapt cognitive-behavioral strategies to fit the needs of those with social anxiety, then treatment becomes significantly more efficient and effective. We will highlight what to seek in the initial interview, presenting to clients their underlying beliefs that lead to their flawed goals, the simplest cognitive restructuring tasks, the why and how of teaching clients paradoxical interventions, setting up and then debriefing exposures and exposure simulations, and the benefits and principles of group work.
Educational Objectives:
1. Identify the flawed treatment goals of those with social anxiety and the underlying beliefs that drive them.
2. Describe three or more essential targets of social anxiety treatment.
3. Outline the guidelines for skills practice in social anxiety disorder.
