title: A cognitive therapy model of social anxiety problems: potential limits on its effectiveness?
abstract: Cognitive therapy formulations of, and interventions for, social phobia are increasingly influential. In this article, relevant studies are reviewed and lead to a tentative conclusion that purely 'cognitive' interventions may, in fact, fail to provide optimum help for a large number of people likely to present to mental health services with problems of social anxiety.
