Resumen

Se revisan, de modo cuantitativo, los tratamientos cognitivos y conductuales para la fobia social, obteniéndose un tamaño del efecto medio ponderado de 0,77 para el postest y 0,95 para el seguimiento. Estos valores permiten afirmar que, en términos globales, dichos tratamientos resultan bastante efectivos para la fobia social. Sin embargo, la prueba de homogeneidad no es estadísticamente significativa, por lo que podemos asumir que las técnicas de exposición, las técnicas de reestructuración cognitiva y el entrenamiento en habilidades sociales - los tratamientos más contrastados - no difieren en la eficacia demostrada. Este hecho plantea cuestiones de interés sobre los fundamentos de la eficacia de dichos procedimientos. Se propone una explicación a dicho fenómeno basada en la exposición a los estímulos sociales temidos
