Social anxiety disorder, also known as social phobia, is a prevalent disorder that can result in substantial impairment. This chapter reviews theoretical bases and empirical support for psychotherapeutic interventions for social anxiety disorder in an effort to inform evidence-based practice. Specifically, treatments that have received the most support will be discussed. In addition, this chapter will highlight which common practices have shown to be ineffective, as well as discuss some practices that have yet to be empirically evaluated. Treatments reviewed include cognitive behavior therapy, social skills training, interpersonal therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and psychodynamic therapy.
