ABSTRACT

The main purpose of this study was to compare three approaches to group psychotherapy with specific reference to their outcomes in treating interpersonal anxiety in introverts and extroverts. A discussion of the results relative to these hypotheses appears in the section entitled “Treatment Effects.” In addition, a number of hypotheses were generated regarding the effects of no treatment at all and simple attention. A discussion of these results appears below. Finally, a brief analysis of the role of the counselor, the generalization of treatment effects, and implications for future research is also presented.
