The editors have brought together original chapters by some of the leading international experts, to provide a state-of-the-art account of knowledge in this field. The purpose was to review and synthesize a very extensive literature from diverse disciplines, with a critical focus on knowledge that is research-based, central to the understanding of social anxiety, and of essential interest to a wide range of students, researchers and professionals.

approaches to social phobia. Sections concentrate on the origins and
development of social anxiety, its implications for social
development and interpersonal relationships, and clinical
interventions to reduce anxiety and enhance social functioning.
