書籍簡介

Helping Your Shy And Socially Anxious Client presents a breakthrough therapeutic approach to treating social anxiety. In a world dominated by extroverts, being shy or socially anxious can make life especially challenging. And while there is nothing wrong with being naturally introverted, avoiding social contact due to extreme fear and anxiety can be very damaging both mentally and physically.

As a therapist, you understand that avoidance can often make a client's anxiety worse. But many clients with shyness and social anxiety believe they can never change. In fact, they may strategically adjust their lives to avoid social activities or situations that make them uncomfortable.

In a sense, they allow their social "muscles" to atrophy, and in the end may become even more alienated and despondent. There is hope. Just as physical fitness strengthens the body, "social fitness" can be developed through habit and action.

In Helping Your Shy and Socially Anxious Client, shyness expert Lynne Henderson presents the Social Fitness program-a twelve session cognitive behavioral model for clients with shyness and social anxiety. Inside, mental health professionals will learn powerful tools for helping clients strengthen their social skills, track their successes, and learn to cope with setbacks or hurdles. The techniques described in this manual were developed for the Stanford Shyness Clinic by Philip Zimbardo, and are currently being used by the Shyness Institute in Berkeley to educate therapists and other counselors.

《害羞與社交焦慮症 : CBT治療與社交技能訓練 》提出了一個突破性的治療方法來治療社交焦慮。在一個由外向者主導的世界裏，害羞或社交焦慮會讓生活變得特別具有挑戰性。雖然天生內向並沒有錯，但由於極度恐懼和焦慮而避免社交會對精神和身體造成極大的傷害。

作為一名治療師，你明白逃避往往會讓客户的焦慮加劇。但許多害羞和社交焦慮的客户認為，他們永遠不會改變。事實上，他們可能會策略性地調整自己的生活，以避免那些讓他們感到不舒服的社交活動或場合。

在某種意義上，他們允許自己的社會“肌肉”萎縮，最終可能變得更加疏遠和沮喪。還是有希望的。正如身體健康可以增強身體，“社會健康”可以通過習慣和行動來發展。

為了幫助害羞和社交焦慮的客户，害羞專家琳恩·亨德森(Lynne Henderson)提出了“社交健身計劃”(Social Fitness program)——為害羞和社交焦慮的客户提供12期認知行為模型。在課程中，心理健康專業人員將學習幫助客户增強社交技能、追蹤他們的成功、學會應對挫折或障礙的有力工具。本手冊中描述的技巧是Philip Zimbardo為斯坦福羞怯診所開發的，目前正在伯克利羞怯研究所用於教育治療師和其他心理諮詢師。
