Generalized Social Phobia

The current study examined how the social developmental experiences of people with generalized social phobia (GSP) affect their therapeutic relationships and treatment response. GSP patients (N = 27) completed measures of social learning experiences, and then participated in a 12-session group cognitive-behavioral treatment program. Both patients and therapists completed the Working Alliance Inventory (WAI) and rated their perceptions of each other at sessions 3 and 8. Self-reported childhood parental abuse was associated with a weaker working alliance and a more negative patient-therapist relationship. Childhood abuse also increased the risk of a poor treatment outcome, as reflected in less change in symptoms of social phobia and depression.

New Treatment

The recent psychopathology literature suggests that individuals with social phobia overestimate social standards and are deficient in setting and attaining social goals, have a negative perception of themselves as social objects, and show heightened self-focused attention when confronted with social threat. They further overestimate the potential cost of a social encounter, experience their anxiety as uncontrollable and visible to others, view their social skills as inadequate, rely on safety behaviors and avoidance strategies to control their anxiety, and engage in post-event rumination. Traditional cognitive-behavioral therapy does not adequately address all of these features of social phobia during treatment. We discuss here an enhanced version of cognitive-behavioral treatment for social phobia, which is expressly designed to address these factors. The results of an uncontrolled pilot study suggest that this new treatment may be more effective than traditional cognitive-behavioral therapy for social phobia.

Recommended Treatment

Depression is a significant public health issue and many researchers have suggested that modifications to conventional cognitive–behavioral therapy (CBT) are required to address infrequent help-seeking in men and counter negative effects of traditional masculinity on therapeutic engagement. This narrative review summarizes recommended alterations to CBT in the areas of therapeutic setting, process, and content. Key themes from this literature include a focus on behavioural interventions, and harmful cognitions that orginate from the traditional male gender stereotype. This literature is marked by limited empirical support for many of the recommended treatment modifications, and several options for future research are outlined.

RAINBOW: A Child- and Family-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment for Pediatric Bipolar Disorder is a comprehensive, evidence-based treatment manual designed specifically for children ages 7–13 with bipolar spectrum disorders and their families. Developed by experts in pediatric mood disorders and tested in a randomized clinical trial (RCT), RAINBOW integrates psychoeducation and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) with complementary techniques from mindfulness-based intervention, positive psychology, and interpersonal therapy to address the range of therapeutic needs of families affected by this disorder. Guided by the evidence on the neurobiological and psychosocial difficulties accompanying pediatric bipolar disorder, this treatment targets the child and family across seven core components: Routine, Affect Regulation, I Can Do It, No Negative Thoughts and Live in the Now, Be a Good Friend/Balanced Lifestyle for Parents, Oh How Do We Solve This Problem, and Ways to Get Support. Throughout the treatment, the child and family will learn how to identify mood states and triggers of mood dysregulation, and develop cognitive and behavioral strategies for improving mood stability. Children will build social skills, and caregivers will develop greater balance and self-care in their own lives. The family will learn ways to use routines, problem-solving, and social support to improve overall family functioning. Intended for qualified child-focused mental health professionals, this manual includes the conceptual background of the treatment and user-friendly step-by-step instruction in delivering RAINBOW with families, including handy session outlines and engaging worksheets for the child and caregiver(s).

Chapter 3, “Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Theory and Practice,” presents the history, examines the theoretical underpinnings, and explains the essential skills and techniques of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Theoretical principles, such as cognitive distortions, underlying assumptions and schema, and their presentation in older adults, are discussed. The treatment approach of CBT is outlined, including the nature of the therapeutic relationship, changing cognitions, behavioral strategies, the use of homework in treatment, and special considerations and adaptations for practice with older clients. Various contexts and settings where CBT is implemented are summarized, such as individual and group settings within community-based, acute-care, and long-term-care facilities. The chapter ends with the case example of cognitive behavioral treatment with an older female caregiver, which highlights and illustrates CBT practice with older adults.

This study was designed to answer two related questions: (a) Could Beck's cognitive-behavioral treatment of depression be efficaciously employed in a religious population, and (b) would the efficacy of Beck's cognitive-behavioral treatment of depression be enhanced if it was integrated with the subjects’ religious beliefs? A multiple cutoff procedure was utilized in the selection of subjects for a secular cognitive behavior modification group, a religious cognitive behavior modification group, and a waiting list control group. The results indicated that the secular and the religious cognitive behavior modification groups were significantly more effective than the waiting list control group in alleviating depression. No significant differences were found between secular and the religious cognitive behavior modification groups. The reductions in depression were maintained at a one-month follow-up. The results relevant to Beck's cognitive-behavioral therapy of depression and to the treatment of religious patients are discussed.
