  • Summary

    Clark and Wells advanced a cognitive model of social anxiety disorder (SAD) that has received substantial empirical support. The model accounts for the persistence of SAD with reference to a set of specific cognitive behavioral mechanisms involving feedback cycles that are responsible for maintaining the problem. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) derived from this model aims to address these mechanisms, which include, among others, maladaptive self-processing and styles of coping consisting of safety behaviors and anticipatory and post-event processing. The treatment is recognized as the treatment of choice in clinical guidelines. We present the Clark and Wells’s model of SAD in detail and describe how SAD can be treated with CBT. Furthermore, we address topics such as clinical management and assessment, research supporting CBT for SAD, and further developments based on the metacognitive model.
