After Meesters modified Rosenthal’s definition, it was possible to diagnose correctly many more patients under the umbrella of SAD. Thus, as greater numbers of people were diagnosed, observed trends began to develop. Three in particular were noticed early on, and continue to prove true today. They included an overall lower rate of SAD in children compared to the general population, an increasing diagnosis rate in adolescents, and a much higher rate in adult females versus males. One study that became instrumental in establishing concrete evidence for the rates in children and adolescents was conducted after the inherent trends were noticed throughout the general population.

Social anxiety disorder (SAD), also know as social phobia, affects between 1.6% and 4.0% of children. Like other anxiety disorders, girls are more likely to be diagnosed with SAD than boys (Chavira & Stein, 2002). The defining features of SAD are excessive self-consciousness that is more than just common shyness. Individuals with SAD fear social or performance situations where they may face scrutiny or humiliation. The two subtypes of SAD are generalized and non-generalized. Approximately 75% of individuals with SAD experience the generalized type, which is characterized by experiencing distress in almost all social situations. Non-generalized SAD is characterized by experiencing anxiety in only one or two types of interpersonal situations, like public speaking. Generalized social anxiety disorder has high comorbidity with major depression, generalized anxiety disorder, specific phobias, and ADHD. Non-generalized SAD however has low comorbidity with other disorders. Children with selective mutism have a significantly high comorbidity rate with SAD, about 97% to 100% (Chavira & Stein, 2005).

Under normal circumstances, we tend to operate via simple schematic processing and with our conscious control system. Typical assessment methods: Formal assessment in CT often involves using standardized self-report inventories such as the Beck Depression Inventory, which measures schema related core beliefs and assumptions. Treatment methods: N/A The process of therapy: In the first session, three goals are considered critical: establishing the working relationship, setting goals, and socializing the client.

Comparisons of the two approaches can be drawn from the way they try to explain the causes of fear and sadness and then treat the symptoms. Both approaches recognise that fear and sadness are a normal part of being “human” but that some people experience greater fear or sadness which can lead to depression or anxiety, the holistic person centred approach attributes this greater suffering to incongruence and seeks to move the client into a state of congruence through therapy based on opposite conditions of worth, empathy, acceptance and relational depth (Ballantine Dykes, 2010, pg.113). This is in contrast to the CBT approach which alludes to the idea that sadness and fear are learnt behaviours and where a person can become trapped in a particular way of negative thinking. If the behaviour is learnt, then it is thought that it can be unlearned and the behaviour or thought process changed. Collaborative treatment is structured and is based on a skilful mixture of discussion, probing questioning techniques and behavioural experiments based on challenging negative beliefs in order to help the client to identify alternative ways of thinking about or dealing with a particular source of fear or sadness (Salkovskis, 2010, pg.160).

Included in this paper is a discussion on the Rapee and Heimberg model, the effectiveness of CBT, different CBT techniques used in treating patients with SAD, and pharmacotherapy as a treatment instead of CBT. The Rapee and Heimberg model was developed to create an understanding of the symptoms and how a person with SAD experiences social situations and their audience.

In the story of Macbeth there are a myriad of themes that can be explored and analyzed within the text, which become distinct and unique in their own way. As the main character, Macbeth, goes through continuous conflict and self doubt based on the morality of his choices; other characters slowly get assorted within the chaos that ultimately changes and influences the scenes and murders that play out throughout the book. Lady Macbeth (Macbeth’s wife) can be attributed to most of her husband's actions as she calls his “manhood” and “pride” into question over and over again. Lady Macbeth manipulates her husband into murdering King Duncan and anyone else that threatens their power, which steadily begins to address her own morality as a human being. As the book continues, further on, a sense of guilt can be discovered as part of the aftermath of murdering Duncan.

Plato was born around 428 B.C. which was during the final years of the Golden Age of Pericles Athens. Plato came from one of the wealthiest and most politically involved families in Athens. His father Ariston died when he was a child. His mother Perictione remarried a politician by the name of Pyrilampes. Plato was raised during the Peloponnesian War and was educated in philosophy, poetry and gymnastics by well known Athenian teachers including a philosopher by the name of Cratylus. Plato became a devoted follower of Socrates in fact, Socrates was condemned for corrupting the youth which included Plato at the time. Plato would go on to remember how Socrates believed in questioning everything which became the basis of his early studies.

Among all anxiety problems, social anxiety disorder is most common anxiety issue and third most common problem in all mental complications (American Psychiatric Association, 2000; Hofmann & Bogels, 2006). SAD is a mental disorder which has a tendency to become chronic and badly disturbs normal functions of life if not diagnosed and treated in time (Beesdo-Baum, et al., 2012; Garcia-Lopez, Piqueras, Diaz-Castela, & Ingles, 2008). It is also among the most prevailing mental disorders and is described in Criterion A of DSM-V as “Marked fear or anxiety about one or more social situations in which the individual is exposed to possible scrutiny by others. Examples include social interactions (e.g., having a conversation, meeting unfamiliar people), being observed (e.g., eating or drinking), and performing in front of others (e.g., giving a speech)” (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). A specific amount of anxiety is always anticipated socially and helps an individual managing future threats (American Psychiatric Association, 2000). But having social anxiety means that anxiety is too much for normal functioning during social situations and often interferes with
