Social anxiety or social phobia has become increasingly common in
contemporary societies due to the increased isolation in impersonal
living environments and the weakening family ties that leave many
individuals feeling withdrawn and estranged. In this book, the
authors present new research on the ways of assessing social
anxiety, as well as the role of autonomic arousal in the
development of social phobia. Special reference is made to the
impact of family on the development and maintenance of social
anxiety in children on a both theoretical and practical level.
Social anxiety is also discussed in different groups of individuals
that have unique characteristics, such as substance users and
abusers, patients with chronic heart failure, individuals with
autism spectrum disorders, and AIDS/HIV sufferers. Finally,
suggestions are made on ways to enhance help-seeking behaviour for
individuals with social anxiety disorders and there is extensive
reference to cognitive behavioural training and other relevant
effective treatment or intervention techniques.
