Coach vs clinician self-help for social anxiety
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether two different self-help programs (one guided by a coach and one by a clinician) can improve generalized social anxiety. You may be able to use an evidence-based approach at home, with the goal of reducing fear and avoidance in social situations.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
