Recenzje

The first volume to address the problems of social phobia from every conceivable facet--epidemiology, assessment, diagnosis, theory, research, and treatment....This volume offers hope for lifelong sufferers of social phobia and will be the standard definitive work for years to come. --Aaron T. Beck, University of Pennsylvania Medical Center

Social Phobia is an excellent, comprehensive introduction to this important subject and also provides an authoritative, up-to-date review of current knowledge and theories....It probably is the best text available on this topic at present. --Stanley Rachman, University of British Columbia

A landmark, encyclopedic, astonishingly current book....The editors are at the forefront of the recent crescendo of scientific advances in this hitherto neglected area. Scientists investigating social phobia will find this a remarkable resource....It is required reading for all mental health professionals and students. --Donald F. Klein, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and New York State Psychiatric Institute
