therapy (CBT) (cognitive therapy (CT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)), for the
treatment of generalized social anxiety disorder.
We are recruiting a clinical sample of patients who meet diagnostic criteria (per DSM-5) for
the generalized subtype of social anxiety disorder. Participants are randomly assigned to the
two active intervention conditions; no placebo or sham treatments will be employed.
Assessments take place at baseline, pre-treatment, mid-treatment, post-treatment, and at 3-
and 12-months follow-up; participants also complete a brief weekly assessment of functioning.
Treatment is administered individually by trained graduate students in clinical psychology,
directly trained and supervised by the PI and Co-PI. Participants receive 12 weekly 1-hour
long sessions. The study design is a 2 (treatment condition) by 5 (assessment occasion) mixed
factorial design.
