 EFFECTIVENESS OF COGNITIVE-BEHAVIOURAL TREATMENT IN SOCIAL PHOBIA: A META-ANALYTIC REVIEW. Pedro J. Moreno Gil, F. ...
This fact is interpreted by some authors as representing a lack of support for the therapeutic principles underpinning social skills training and/or cognitive restructuring techniques in the treatment of social phobia (Feske and Chambless, 1995; Hope, Heimberg and Bruch, 1995; Mattick and Peters, 1988; Mersch, 1995; Scholing and Emmelkamp, 1993; Stravynski, Marks and Yule, 1982).
For Marks (1991), the equivalence of cognitive treatments and exposure techniques is due to the fact that cognitive restructuring techniques implicitly include a component of exposure to the feared social stimuli (cognitive exposure).
Nevertheless, in patients that received cognitive restructuring techniques without (explicit) exposure tasks, an additional improvement is likewise observed in the follow-up, and which is difficult to explain from the hypothesis of action mechanisms with a basis in exposure.

Similarly, as a result of cognitive restructuring, Hooper and Layne (1985) noted decrements in irrational thinking among children, and Block (1978) reported improvements in grade point average as well as reductions in disruptive behavior and cutting class in at-risk high school students.

Cognitive restructuring, which derives from areas of agreement among rational-emotive and behavior therapies; is perhaps the modal counseling procedure for addressing dysfunctional thinking.
Horan (1996), for example, designed a computer-based cognitive restructuring program that determined if high-school aged participants held any of a number of specific irrational thoughts previously linked to low self esteem; the program's individually tailored instruction then produced significantly higher levels of general rationality and self-esteem.
If the students chose either of the other options, however, they were shunted to cognitive restructuring dialogs that challenged the irrational basis of their beliefs and offered more rational perspectives.
