Historically, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for social anxiety disorder (SAD) has been evaluated in randomized-controlled trials as a 12-16 session treatment and has demonstrated response rates ranging from 58% to 75%. Despite these promising results, some patients do not improve substantially after this short course of CBT. It is unclear whether non-responding patients would make substantial improvements in social anxiety with further treatment. In a university outpatient clinic specializing in CBT for SAD, we compared outcomes for patients who ended treatment after approximately 20 sessions of CBT (n = 38) to those who continued treatment for a variable number of additional sessions (n = 34). We found no between-group differences in demographic characteristics, number of comorbid diagnoses, comorbid generalized anxiety disorder or major depressive disorder, or severity of depression at baseline. Patients who ended treatment after 20 sessions experienced greater improvements in SAD over those 20 sessions compared to those who continued treatment. Both groups experienced changes in depression and quality of life over the first 20 sessions. Those who continued treatment showed additional decreases in social anxiety beyond session 20. For those who initially appear to be non-responsive to CBT for SAD, a longer course of treatment may elicit significant improvements.

一些社交焦虑症患者接受更长疗程的认知行为治疗的好处

从历史上看,针对社交焦虑症 (SAD) 的认知行为疗法 (CBT) 已在随机对照试验中作为 12-16 次治疗进行评估,并且已证明反应率从 58% 到 75% 不等。尽管取得了这些有希望的结果,但一些患者在短期 CBT 治疗后并没有显着改善。目前尚不清楚无反应的患者是否会通过进一步治疗使社交焦虑得到实质性改善。在一家专门从事 CBT 治疗 SAD 的大学门诊,我们比较了在大约 20 次 CBT 治疗后结束治疗的患者(n = 38)与继续治疗不同次数的额外治疗的患者(n = 34)的结果。我们没有发现人口统计学特征、合并症诊断数量、共病广泛性焦虑症或重度抑郁症,或基线抑郁症的严重程度。与继续治疗的患者相比,在 20 次治疗后结束治疗的患者在这 20 次治疗后 SAD 的改善更大。在前 20 次治疗中,两组都经历了抑郁和生活质量的变化。那些继续治疗的人在第 20 次治疗后社交焦虑的进一步减少。对于那些最初似乎对 SAD 的 CBT 没有反应的人,更长的疗程可能会引起显着的改善。在前 20 次治疗中,两组都经历了抑郁和生活质量的变化。那些继续治疗的人在第 20 次治疗后社交焦虑的进一步减少。对于那些最初似乎对 SAD 的 CBT 没有反应的人,更长的疗程可能会引起显着的改善。在前 20 次治疗中,两组都经历了抑郁和生活质量的变化。那些继续治疗的人在第 20 次治疗后社交焦虑的进一步减少。对于那些最初似乎对 SAD 的 CBT 没有反应的人,更长的疗程可能会引起显着的改善。
