Abstract:
This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of cognitive-behavior group therapy (CBGT) and individual cognitive–behavior therapy (ICBT) in reducing symptoms of social anxiety disorder (SAD). The participants consisted of 28 patients who were referred to psychological treatment centers of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences University and were diagnosed as having SAD. The sample was randomly allocated to the two groups of 14 participants (12 primary and 2 reserves). Each group participated separately in 12 sessions mainly based on Heimberg’s model for SAD. Pretest and posttest data using Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN) and the Beck Depression Inventory-Second Edition were collected and analyzed by analysis of covariance. The results showed that after pretest depression was co varied out، CBGT compared with ICBT was more effective in reducing fear and physiolo-gical arousal but there was no significant difference between the two groups in avoi-dance scores. Furthermore، improvement rates of CBGT were significantly higher than ICBT group. The clinical significance of findings by different criteria was discussed.

Summary
Previous studies have established the efficacy of group and individual formats of cognitive-behavioral therapy in reducing fear of negative evaluation in social anxiety disorder, but the effectiveness of the group and individual therapies has not been widely assessed. This study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of cognitive-behavior group therapy to individual cognitive-behavioral therapy in social anxiety disorder. 28 patients were randomly allocated to two groups of 14. Each group participated in 12 weekly sessions. The final sample was 22 participants after drop-out. Pretest and posttest data were collected using the Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale and the Beck Depression Inventory-II. Controlling for pretest fear of negative evaluation and depression, cognitive-behavioral group therapy was more effective than individual cognitive-behavioral therapy in reducing fear of negative evaluation, but the clinical significance and improvement rates of the two treatment formats were equivalent.
