Imagery Rescripting Versus Cognitive Restructuring for Social Anxiety: Treatment Effects and Working Mechanisms
Overview
This randomized controlled trial compares Imagery Rescripting (ImRs) and Cognitive Restructuring (CR) for reducing social anxiety symptoms in highly anxious individuals. The study found that CR significantly reduced symptoms and dysfunctional beliefs more effectively than ImRs or a no-intervention control, while ImRs produced the strongest increase in positive emotions. The resource is intended for researchers and clinicians interested in the comparative efficacy and working mechanisms of these CBT interventions.
