Chapter about internet-based treatment in “Handbook of Social Anxiety Disorder”

by

We have written a book chapter in a new social phobia “bible”. The book  is edited by Justin W. Weeks and is entitled “The Wiley Blackwell Handbook of Social Anxiety Disorder“.  The official publication date is April 28th. In our chapter we give an introduction to internet-delivered interventions. Then we give an overview of the different treatment programs that have been developed and tested specifically for social anxiety disorder. We report on the effects of internet-delivered treatments and long-term outcome studies. In addition, the roles of guidance and support and who the therapist should be are commented on. In one section we write about if internet-delivered treatments are as effective as face-to-face treatment for sad and the effectiveness in real clinical settings. Finally, we cover moderators of outcome (what works for whom?).
