Product Description

Review

Dr. Rapee educates, coaches, and guides those who struggle with shyness or social anxiety toward the achievement of a more comfortable ifestyle. His writing is clear and accessible, and his integrative lessons are based on the latest outcome research. Mental health professionals will find the program an indispensable resource for facilitating behavior change in their clients. -- Andrew R. Eisen Offering useful tools for confronting the fears that inhibit millions of people experiencing problems related to shyness or social anxiety, this is a practical, concise self-help guide. The reader will learn ways to think and act differently and will be able to challenge and defeat the negative and unrealistic assumptions that limit personal growth. -- Robert L. Leahy Given that social phobia is the third most common mental disorder (after depression and alcoholism), Dr. Rapee's book is a must for every clinician's library. Mental health professionals can recommend it with confidence, since all of the strategies are firmly grounded in two decades of empirical research. The case examples make the strategies come alive. Readers can work systematically through the nine lessons to conquer social fears on their own or they can use the book in conjunction with ongoing therapy for social phobia. Congratulations to Dr. Rapee on an excellent, timely contribution! -- Debra A. Hope

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent self help 22 Mar 2002
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Hi I am a 27 year old female and I just thought I should share my view on this wonderful book.

It is very practical, common sense and deals with shyness, social phobia and anxiety in a manner that is most helpful. You learn to gain trust from within yourself rather than from the outside (like drugs). You learn to deal with this problem and gain trust in yourself as well as others and get stronger at the same time. As someone who has been dealing with this problem for a long time, I feel so much better, I am not as afraid of people any more (they are not out there to specifically hurt me or terrify me :) ) and the feeling is wonderful. Also as a graduated psychology student, I can with confidence recommend it. The process is slow, and tedious, but definetly worth it. Yes you will probably make mistakes and feel gutted but this is normal and not the end of the world and the book deals with that as well. Be sure you have this book next to you at all times.

Thank you so much.

1.0 out of 5 stars no use 6 Oct 2006
By daria
Format:Paperback
Ive been chronically shy all my life and I decided to buy this to help me overcome my problem. This was the first book that I read and I didn't find useful at all. There were too many forms to fill and there wasn't much in the way of expalining how to change behaviour and thinking patterns. I would not recommend it. As this was my first book that I had read on the subject, it had almost put me off reading other books.
