Residential Cognitive and Interpersonal Therapy for Social Phobia

The purpose of this study is twofold: (1) to compare the effectiveness of two promising treatments for social phobia, a new cognitive therapy model (Clark \& Wells, 1995; Borge et al., 2001) and interpersonal therapy (Lipsitz, Markowitz, \& Cherry, 1997), adapted for inpatient groups; and (2) to study the empirical change processes in these therapies and compare them with the cognitive and interpersonal models of change.
