Cognitive Restructuring in the Treatment of Social Phobia: Efficacy and Mode of Action.

Taylor, Steven; Woody, Sheila; Koch, William J.; McLean, Peter; Paterson, Randy J.; Anderson, Kent W.

Behavior Modification, v21 n4 p487-511 Oct 1997

Examines whether cognitive restructuring (CR) contributes to treatment efficacy and investigates its mode of action for therapeutic effects. Results, based on 60 persons with generalized social phobia, indicate that CR reduced social phobia and negative social cognitions and increased positive cognitions. CR did not enhance the effects of subsequent therapeutic exposure exercises. (RJM)
