Review of a Neglected Anxiety Disorder

Michael R. Liebowitz, MD; Jack M. Gorman, MD; Abby J. Fyer, MD; Donald F. Klein, MD

Arch Gen Psychiatry. 1985;42(7):729-736.

Abstract
• While other anxiety disorders have recently become the subjects of increasing investigation, social phobia remains, except among behavior therapists, relatively unstudied. As a result, major uncertainties exist concerning classification, prevalence, severity, etiology, assessment, and treatment of social phobia. Existing findings do suggest that in its own right and as a comparison for other anxiety disorders, social phobia should prove a fertile area for psychobiological and clinical investigation.
