Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate this treatment on social anxiety in adolescents.
Methods: This study was an experimental study with repeated measure design and control group. The statistical population included all adolescent girls with social anxiety disorder in Tehran. 30 teenager girls aged between 16 and 18 years old with social anxiety disorder were selected by sampling method from Tehran schools and were equally substituted in one of the two experimental and control groups (15 in each group). The experimental group participated in 8 sessions of solution-focused brief therapy (2 sessions each, 90 minutes each session), but no meetings were held for the control group members. The Leibowitz social anxiety scale was used as pretest-posttest in this research. The data were analyzed by repeated multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA).
Results: The collected results showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in one of the variables of social anxiety, performance anxiety and position anxiety(P<0.001).
Conclusion: As a result, the findings indicated that solution-focused brief treatment improved social anxiety, performance anxiety and anxiety in adolescents with social anxiety disorder.
