Comparação dos efeitos do treinamento de habilidades sociais e da terapia analítica funcional nas habilidades sociais de um paciente com fobia social

“…Apesar de a literatura apresentar o THS como o principal tratamento para lidar com a fobia social (Angélico et al, 2006;Caballo, 2003;Rocha et al, 2012;Savoia & Barros Neto, 2000;Wagner et al, 2015), há poucos estudos que comparam a efetividade de diferentes técnicas (D'El Rey, Beidel, et al, 2006;Mululo, Menezes, Fontenelle & Versiani, 2009;Muñoz-Martínez, Novoa-Gómez, & Gutiérrez, 2012;Shaw, 1979). Além disso, não foram encontrados estudos que compararam FAP e THS no tratamento desse transtorno.…”
