Cognitive ‐behavioural outreach for an adolescent experiencing social anxiety, panic and agoraphobia: A single‐case experimental design

ConclusionsSocial anxiety and panic scores reduced below the clinical threshold and the young person was able to leave home, travel independently (short ‐term goal) and re‐engage with her social–family life (medium‐term goal). SRS scores suggest that the intervention was acceptable and the therapeutic alliance was maintained throughout. In summary, this case study suggests that the Clark and Wells (1995) model of SAD can be used to guide com munity‐based outreach work with adolescents unable to leave their home. Limitations and ideas for future research are discussed.
