Soziale Angststörung im Kindes- und Jugendalter

Social anxieties put many children and adolescents in distress, whether as part of a social anxiety disorder or as a symptom of another mental disorder. Those affected fear behaving awkwardly in front of strangers or embarrassing themselves. Even situations that should bring joy and recognition are avoided. Often, social anxiety disorder goes undetected in children and adolescents, and those affected receive little or no help. This book provides insights into the backgrounds from which social anxieties arise, how they can be diagnosed, and what evidence-based treatment components and programs exist.
