title: Two-year follow-up of social phobias treated with Social Effectiveness Therapy.
abstract: A 2-yr follow-up assessment was conducted with patients treated with Social Effectiveness Therapy (SET), a multi-component treatment for social phobia. Eight of the 13 patients who completed the treatment study were available for the follow-up. The results indicated that treatment gains were maintained over the 2-yr follow-up interval, and there was some indication of further improvement over that attained at posttreatment. The findings are discussed in terms of the efficacy of SET and the durability of behavioral treatment of social phobia.
