Social phobia

"This book helps pastoral counselors, ministers, and other religious practitioners understand social phobia from both the psychological and pastoral theological points of view.

Throughout, he expresses a helpful sensitivity to the lived experience of social phobics and offers insights for healthy and adaptive ways of life."--BOOK JACKET. "For those who experience social phobia and those who interact with them, this book will be a valuable resource."--BOOK JACKET.
