TI  - Intensive group cognitive treatment and individual cognitive therapy vs. 
      treatment as usual in social phobia: a randomized controlled trial.
PG  - 142-54
AB  - To compare the effects of an intensive group cognitive treatment (IGCT) to 
      individual cognitive therapy (ICT) and treatment as usual (TAU) in social phobia 
      (DSM-IV). METHOD: Hundred patients were randomized to: IGCT involving 16 group 
      sessions spread over three weeks; ICT involving 16 shorter weekly sessions in 4 
      months and; TAU involving an indicated selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor 
      (SSRI) with therapy sessions as required for 1 year. The main outcome measure was 
      a Social Phobia Composite that combined several standardized self-report 
      measures. Diagnostic assessment was repeated at 1-year follow-up. RESULTS: 
      Significant improvements were observed with all treatments. ICT was superior to 
      IGCT and TAU, which did not differ in overall effectiveness. CONCLUSION: The 
      study confirms and extends previously reported findings that ICT is more 
      effective than group cognitive treatment and treatment with SSRIs. IGCT lasts 
      only 3 weeks, and is as effective as more protracted TAU.
