Produktinformationen zu „Social Anxiety “
Social anxiety is a normal human experience, so it is no surprise that social anxiety disorder is one of the most pervasive psychological disorders. People who struggle with significant social anxiety become so overwhelmingly anxious and self-conscious in social situations that they are typically unable to undertake ordinary activities successfully. Clinicians, social and developmental psychologists, neuroscientists and behavior geneticists have all conducted significant research on the topic over the past 10 years, yet the existing volumes do not tend to integrate these findings. Social Anxiety is the only volume to do so and represents an exciting step forward for anxiety literature.
Klappentext zu „Social Anxiety “
Social Anxiety Clinical, Developmental, and Social Perspectives, Second Edition, provides an interdisciplinary approach to understanding social anxiety disorder (SAD) by bringing together research across several disciplines, including social psychology, developmental psychology, behavior genetics, and clinical psychology.The book explains the different aspects of social anxiety and social phobia in adults and children, including the evolution of terminology and constructs, assessment procedures, relationship to personality disorders, and psychopathology. It considers most prominent theoretical perspectives on social anxiety and SAD discussed by social psychologists, developmental psychologists, behavior geneticists, clinical psychologists, and psychiatrists. These theoretical perspectives emphasize different factors that can contribute to the etiology and/or maintenance of social anxiety/SAD. Treatment approaches are also discussed, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, exposure intervention, social skills training.
The contents of this volume represent some of the best views and thoughts in the field. It is hoped that the breadth of perspectives offered will help foster continued interdisciplinary dialogue and efforts toward cross-fertilization to advance the understanding, conceptualization, and treatment of chronic and debilitating social anxiety.
