Article Abstract
“Social anxiety disorder (SAD) also known as social phobia is an anxiety disorder characterised by an intense fear in one or more social situations causing considerable distress and impaired functioning in at least some parts of daily life as defined in DSM-V (APA 2013)…Much as EMDR is a proven psychotherapeutic approach in posttraumatic stress disorder, there are studies about efficiency in some other psychiatric disorders (Banerjee & Argaez 2017). In addition it can be conducted on various cases in addition to other treatments such as medication or another therapy (Ostacoli et al. 2018).”
