Summary

The aim of this randomized, controlled study is to examine an internet delivered, self-help program for social anxiety based on psychodynamic therapy. The study will compare three conditions: the psychodynamic program with therapist support, without therapist support and a waitlist control.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Experimental: Internet delivered self-help program with therapist support

During 8 weeks of treatment participants are taught how emotional conflicts may underlie and perpetuate symptoms of social anxiety. They are also taught how to observe their own anxiety and emotional avoidance (i.e. defenses) and how to gradually approach previously warded off feelings. The final part of the program contains material on how one may express previously warded off emotions to improve important relationships. The treatment program consists of text, videos and a series of experiential exercises which a therapist gives feedback on.
