Abstrakt: The article presents a case study regarding the efficacy of exposure therapy as well as the D-cycloserine for social anxiety disorder. It was found out that the association of D-cycloserine and exposure therapy results to a lesser social anxiety among the participants than those only using the exposure therapy. As a result, the study provides support for the new therapeutic strategy in treating social anxiety disorder.
