Christophe André, Patrick Légeron
Fear of Others Publication date : February 1, 2003
Why do we get "stage fright"? What are the most intimidating social situations for the majority of us? At what point does ordinary shyness become a social phobia? What should be defined as pathological? When should one consult a specialist?
Christophe André and Patrick Légeron describe the various forms that social anxiety can take. They explain the underlying psychological and behavioural mechanisms, and suggest ways of overcoming fear.
