“…In the remediation axis, which is characterized by long‐term and overwhelming fear of social situations leading to chronic avoidance, cognitive‐behavioral therapy (CBT) plays a crucial role (Leigh & Clark, 2018). These interventions, which include not only social skills training, but also psychoeducation, anxiety self‐monitoring, cognitive restructuring, reduction of self‐focused attention and safety behaviors, graded exposure, addressing anticipatory and postevent processing (rumination), and relapse prevention, reduce social anxiety‐related thoughts, beliefs, safety behaviors, and general anxiety and depression (Leigh & Clark, 2018; Mesa et al, 2015; Telman et al, 2020). CBT can also help adolescents improve their social behavior (Beidel et al, 2014), thereby increasing their confidence and sense of competence in managing social interactions.…”

Further research is needed to clarify the association of the different forms of bullying with social anxiety and social withdrawal over time in adolescents. This two‐wave panel study with a 1‐year time lag (October 2021–October 2022) examined the cross‐lagged relationships between bullying victimization and bullying perpetration, social anxiety (i.e., fear or distress in social situations), and social withdrawal (i.e., consistent, and deliberate social solitude). Participants were 485 middle school students (234 girls) attending the seventh or eighth grade at Time 1 (T1) (Mage = 12.67 years, SD = 1.14 years). Social anxiety and social withdrawal were assessed using subscales of the Social and Emotional Competencies Evaluation Questionnaire. Bullying perpetration and bullying victimization were assessed using the Bullying and Cyberbullying Behavior Questionnaire–Short Form. The within‐wave associations between the study variables were similar at T1 and Time 2 (T2), with the exception that the association between bullying perpetration and social anxiety was much weaker at T1 than at T2. The results of the path analysis showed that T1 bullying perpetration predicted T2 social anxiety, and that T1 bullying victimization predicted T2 social withdrawal. We also found a reciprocal relationship between social anxiety and social withdrawal. These findings highlight the importance of preventive and remediation interventions to reduce social anxiety in adolescents who engage in and experience bullying behavior.

“…It would seem, then, that the use of social simulation could be a useful adjunct to these treatments. The use of role-playing and social simulations are well-established practices in a range of health-related disciplines both for clinical training and for improving patient experience [29,30]. In real-world simulations, people physically play out different scenarios without having to enter real-life situations.…”

This study reports a user evaluation of a DVD-based social simulator, developed for people who stutter to potentially gain confidence in using a learned fluency technique. The aim was to examine and evaluate the pilot of the DVD-based social simulator, Scenari-Aid, to inform the development of an online version of the program. Thirty-seven adults who were stuttering were recruited to the study from non-professional groups in Australia. The DVD comprised scenarios with actors in real-life settings that were designed to elicit verbal responses. Participants worked through the scenarios at their own rate and then completed an online survey. The survey comprised 29 statements requiring responses on a 5-point Likert scale and provided information about users’ perceptions of participating in the social simulations. There was high positive agreement among the participants on all statements, the most important being that they perceived the scenarios represented in everyday speaking situations and that they felt immersed in them. Participants also agreed that both their fluency and confidence increased in everyday speaking situations as a result of working through the DVD scenarios. The developers were satisfied that, despite the subjective nature of the findings, the study provided sufficient support for constructing the online version, which is now available to the public free of charge. Further research is needed to provide empirical evidence of the contribution it can make to the efficacy of speech programs for adults who stutter.

“…Such concerns and subsequent behaviors may be vital in understanding the social difficulties experienced by the population. Indeed, targeting social skills deficits among young people experiencing social anxiety have been stressed (Mesa, Le & Beidel, 2015) and appear particularly crucial when working with AYA survivors of brain tumors since the neurocognitive late effects can negatively impact social functioning (Schulte, 2015).…”

Background.A subgroup of adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of cancer during adolescence report high levels of psychological distress. To date, evidence-based psychological interventions tailored to the cancer-related concerns experienced by this population are lacking. The present study aimed to (1) examine the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of an individualized cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) intervention for AYA survivors of cancer during adolescence; and (2) identify and conceptualize cancer-related concerns as well as maintaining factors using cognitivebehavioral theory. Methods. A single-arm trial, whereby AYA survivors of cancer during adolescence (aged 17-25 years) were provided individualized face-to-face CBT at a maximum of 15 sessions. Clinical outcomes were assessed at baseline, post-intervention, and three-month follow-up. Intervention uptake, retention, intervention delivery, and reliable change index scores were examined. An embedded qualitative study consisted of two unstructured interviews with each participant pre-intervention. Along with individual behavioral case formulations developed to guide the intervention, interview data was analyzed to identify and conceptualize cancer-related concerns and potential maintaining factors. Results. Ten out of 213 potential participants invited into the study were included, resulting in an overall participation rate of 4.7%. Nine participants completed the intervention, with respectively seven and eight participants completing the postintervention and three month follow-up assessment. The majority of reported cancerrelated concerns and maintaining factors were conceptualized into four themes: social avoidance, fear of emotions and bodily symptoms, imbalance in activity, and worry and rumination. Conclusions. Given significant recruitment difficulties, further research is required to examine barriers to help-seeking in the AYA cancer survivor population. However, the conceptualization of cancer-related concerns and maintaining factors experienced by the population may represent an important first step in the development of psychological support tailored toward AYA cancer survivors' unique needs.
