About This Course

Dr. Sandy Capaldi will provide an overview of exposure therapy for the treatment of Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD). Participants will review the clinical features, cognitive and behavioral maintenance factors, and evidence-based conceptualization of social anxiety, with particular attention to fear of negative evaluation, safety behaviors, and avoidance patterns. The training will focus on the development and implementation of exposure-based interventions, designed to promote learning and reduce reliance on safety behaviors. Through case examples and exposure planning exercises, clinicians will enhance their ability to effectively deliver exposure therapy for individuals with social anxiety disorder.
