“…Skills training assumes that PSA is caused by a lack of skills to give an adequate speech (Fremouw & Zitter, 1978;Kelly, 1984). Training a person in public speaking skills presumably will end the anxiety because he or she is now trained to handle the situation.…”

“…The effects of these psychological treatments on social anxiety disorder have been examined in a considerable number of trials since the late 1970s (Fremouw & Zitter, 1978 ;Shaw, 1979). Throughout this period, studies changed from small and uncontrolled trials (Heimberg et al 1985) to large, highquality randomized controlled trials (Blomhoff et al 2001).…”

Background. Older meta-analyses of the effects of psychological treatments of social anxiety disorder have found that these treatments have moderate to large effects. However, these earlier meta-analyses also included nonrandomized studies, and there are many featured studies in this area which were published after the recent metaanalysis.Method. We conducted a systematic literature search and identified 29 randomized studies examining the effects of psychological treatments, with a total of 1628 subjects. The quality of studies varied. For the analyses, we used the computer program COMPREHENSIVE META-ANALYSIS (version 2.2.021 ; Biostat, Englewood, NJ, USA).Results. The mean effect size on social anxiety measures (47 contrast groups) was 0.70, 0.80 on cognitive measures (26 contrast groups) and 0.70 both on depression (19 contrast groups) and general anxiety measures (16 contrast groups). We found some heterogeneity, so we conducted a series of subgroup analyses for different variables of the studies. Studies with waiting-list control groups had significantly larger effect sizes than studies with placebo and treatment-as-usual control groups. Studies aimed at subjects who met Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) criteria for social anxiety disorder had smaller effect sizes than studies in which other inclusion criteria were used.Conclusions. This study once more makes it clear that psychological treatments of social anxiety disorder are effective in adults, but that they may be less effective in more severe disorders and in studies in which care-as-usual and placebo control groups are used.

“…Ayres and Hopf (1985) observed that "a means of training speech-anxious students within the confines of the normal classroom routine is sorely needed by those who do not have the resources to provide individualized treatment programs for such students" (p. 318). Experts in CA have recommended the use of major treatment techniques such as systematic desensitization (Friedrich & Goss, 1984;McCroskey, 1972McCroskey, , 1977McCroskey, , 1984bMcCroskey, Ralph, & Barrick, 1970;Pedersen, 1980), cognitive modification (Fremouw, 1984;Fremouw & Scott, 1979;Fremouw & Zitter, 1978;Glaser, 1981;Meichenbaum, Gilmore, & Fedoravicius, 1971), visualization (Assagioli, 1973(Assagioli, , 1976Ayres & Hopf, 1985), and skills training. In addition to these techniques, instructors may use the textbook, scholarly writing, and their own knowledge, skills and experience to aid students in reducing CA during the normal classroom routine.…”
