Synopsis

Everyone feels shy or nervous occasionally, but for millions of people even signing a cheque or eating in public evokes enormous anxiety, often leading them to withdraw completely from social contact. Long neglected by psychologists, social phobia has now been dubbed the disorder of the decade. The author has spent ten years treating social phobias in his anxiety disorders clinic and is a pioneer in the treatment of this problem. In this book, he discusses treatment options and explains the biological roots of the phenomenon.
