Until now, there has not been a good resource to assist school practitioners in addressing the highly prevalent problem of social anxiety in adolescents. Based on a solid foundation of evidence-based practices, this definitive book supplies critically needed guidance. Within a response-to-intervention framework, the authors show how to identify social anxiety, develop and implement interventions, provide schoolwide education, promote generalization of skills, and involve parents to increase their understanding and supportiveness. Without question, this book will be widely used in schools and will be an invaluable resource for graduate education. It also will help to fuel an interconnected training, practice, research, and policy agenda to reduce the impacts of social anxiety and improve students' school success. Kudos to the authors! --Mark D. Weist, PhD, Clinical-Community and School Psychology Programs, University of South Carolina This outstanding book provides state-of-the-art intervention strategies for helping adolescents overcome social anxiety.

Written by leaders in the field, this is a premier guide for promoting teens' psychological well-being and school performance. --Donna B.
