Social Anxiety: Clinical, Developmental, and Social Perspectives, Fourth Edition provides a comprehensive psychosocial view of social anxiety: what it is; how it is related to shyness, perfectionism, and similar phenomenon; why it develops; and how best to assess and treat it in its clinical manifestation. All chapters are fully updated and each section includes new, timely topics shaped by developments in the field and society. This volume focuses on psychosocial perspectives, including those from social, clinical, and developmental psychology, with strong coverage of the complex ways in which development and social ecology necessarily interact and inform our understanding of social anxiety and social anxiety disorder.
