Mark You do raise some good points and I did mean the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale. But if SLPs should recognize Social Phobia in their clients, they would have to refer them to a psychiatrist for pharmaceutical intervention as SLPs, at least in the US, cannot prescribe any drug treatment. I think that this highlights the need for close cooperation between SLPs, psychologists, and psychiatrists when necessary and knowing when to refer. Best regards, Barbara
