Not to question the value of CBT as I'm sure it works very well for some but I'm a bit more sceptical about its succcess rate after looking at the literature. For instance here are the improvement values when comparing different medications to CBT in a fairly recent(Federoff, 2001)review. The review included about 28 CBT studies:
Self-reported social anxiety improvement score:
Benzos ~2.1
SSRIs ~1.7
CBT ~0.8
Placebo ~0.4
Observer-rated social anxiety improvement score:
Benzos ~3.2
SSRIs ~1.5
CBT ~1.8
Placebo ~1.1
