Imagery-based CBT for Social Anxiety Disorder: Piloting a Treatment Augmentation Protocol
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Verbal-linguistic CBT and Imagery-based CBT for Social Anxiety Disorder. Completed, enrolled 9 participants.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this pilot study is to explore whether there is a differential impact of verbal versus imagery-based cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) as a treatment augmentation strategy for individuals with social anxiety disorder (SAD). Clients who have not demonstrated clinically significant change following group CBT for SAD will receive four additional sessions of either verbal-based CBT or imagery-based CBT. We hypothesize that that individuals who receive imagery-based CBT will experience even stronger improvements and be more satisfied with their treatment than individuals who received traditional verbal-linguistic CBT.
