Description
Shota Noda and four co-authors pilot a high intensity program that joins mindfulness with cognitive behavioral group therapy for social anxiety disorder. Cost and probability biases, overestimating social cost and the odds of bad outcomes, predict symptom change. The eight session program blends mindfulness training, psychoeducation, cognitive restructuring, exposure, and group sharing to target those biases.
Ten patients diagnosed by structured interview complete measures before, during, and after treatment and at follow up. Mixed models show gains in anxiety symptoms, both biases, depressive symptoms, happiness, mindfulness, and cognitive reappraisal. Bias reductions hold from post treatment to follow up. As a single arm pilot, the study supports a larger controlled trial of the combined format.
