Currently, the Clinically Applied Affective Neuroscience (CAAN) Project at Stanford University is conducting several research studies focusing on clinical interventions for adults with social anxiety disorder, child-parent mindfulness interventions, and vulnerability/resilience factors and psychopathology. |
|
| Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Adults with Social Anxiety. This study offers 16-sessions of empirically-supported individual cognitive-behavioral therapy (I-CBT) to adults with social anxiety disorder (also known as social phobia). All eligible participants will be administered evaluations (diagnostic interviewing, questionnaires, functional neuroimaging) and I-CBT with experienced clinical psychologists free of charge.

Stress Reduction for Adults with Social Anxiety. This study offers two different 8-session group stress reduction programs for adults with social anxiety. One is a wellness program, which aims to reduce stress by improving physical fitness, flexibility, and quality of life. The other is a mindfulness meditation-based stress reduction (MBSR) course, which teaches mind and body awareness techniques that can help people live with symptoms due to stress, pain, or illness. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two stress reduction programs. Treatment and evaluation/assessments are provided free of charge to individuals admitted to the research study. |

Child-Parent Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. This study offers an 8-sessions group mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) course for children in 4-6th grades together with their parents. This course is open to all children within the 9 to 13 year age range. Treatment and evaluation/assessments are provided free of charge to individuals admitted to the research study.
