Summary

This study tests two 4-week smartphone treatments for social anxiety, one using psychodynamic therapy and the other cognitive behavioral therapy, both guided by an AI assistant instead of a human therapist. 90 adults with social anxiety are randomly assigned to one of the two treatments or a waitlist. The goal is to see if AI-supported therapy can ease symptoms like fear and avoidance in social situations.
