Fearing Others: The Nature and Treatment of Social Phobia
By Ariel Stravynski
http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/51GGSY8300L.jpg
Book Description:
Social phobia is commonly regarded as a kind of disease caused by a deficient inner mechanism, but it may also be considered as a purposeful interpersonal pattern of self-protection from social threats. Though a critical assessment of several theoretical perspectives, this book attempts to clarify social phobia by critically discussing four questions: what is social phobia, what causes it, what is its nature and what kinds of treatments can improve.

Social Anxiety and Social Phobia in Youth: Characteristics, Assessment, and Psychological Treatment (Series in Anxiety and Related Disorders)
By Christopher A. Kearney
http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/5107J58N57L.jpg
Book Description:
The youngster who won’t talk to anyone. The child who avoids social and extracurricular activities. The teenager who has trouble performing before others.
Many children experience social anxiety in certain settings. Some, however, perhaps as many as 4%, experience a clinical condition of severe social and evaluative anxiety that profoundly affects many life situations. Christopher A. Kearney’s Social Anxiety and Social Phobia in Youth sorts out the many nuances of thought and behavior associated with this condition. In doing so, the author gives practitioners and researchers a thorough, up-to-date understanding of childhood social anxiety and social phobia with respect to their characteristics, assessment, and treatment.
- Introductory chapter covers related concepts such as shyness, introversion, and social withdrawal.
- Accessible coverage of epidemiology, biological, and environmental risk factors.
- Provides integrated etiological models and a proposed developmental pathway.
- Clarifies differences of normal childhood and adolescent concerns and their more pathological counterparts.
- Applied examples feature typical as well as unusual cases.
- Later chapters cover empirically-based assessment and treatment recommendations.
- Strategies for relapse prevention are provided.
Clinical and counseling psychologists, school and educational psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and pediatricians will appreciate Kearney’s clarity, organization, and depth of coverage. For principals, teachers, guidance counselors, and other school-based professionals, Social Anxiety and Social Phobia in Youth helps answer their question, "Why won’t this child participate?"
