Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects and limitations of cognitive & behavioral therapy that applied to the social phobia. In this case, a female patient, 25 old, who had been treated distantly by her friends, was trained to catch her dysfunctional belief and maladaptive automatic thoughts. In this training, we used homework and counselling for 2months. And we diagnosed her state as SimDamHeoGup(心膽虛怯), so we used acupuncture treatment and herbs, for example HaChulBoShimTang(夏朮補心湯) and GuiBiWonDamTang(歸脾溫膽湯). In result, she could recover social relationship slowly. Conclusionally, cognitive & behavioral therapy can be very effective methods to treat social phobia, because patients with social phobia have maladaptive automatic thoughts, based on dysfunctional beliefs like 'I'm infelicitous' or 'I'm ineffective'.
