Short-term psychodynamic psychotherapy for social anxiety disorder: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Overview
This meta-analysis reviews eleven randomized controlled trials to evaluate the efficacy of short-term psychodynamic psychotherapy for social anxiety disorder. The authors compare treatment outcomes against waitlist controls and active interventions, noting that while STPP showed significant benefits over waitlists, it performed similarly to other active treatments. The resource also examines dropout rates and long-term symptom maintenance.
