spoke
on
examining
various
models
of
the
self
in
the
context
of
social
anxiety
disorder.
Her
clinically
relevant

the
interplay

interpersonal
processes

the
development
and
maintenance
of
this
often-crippling
anxiety
disorder.
After

the
value
of

research
and
how
it
"represents
an
important
integration
of
two
fields
of
inquiry
-
relationship
science
and
anxiety
disorders".
