Most often we work
with individuals who are struggling
with anxiety (including shyness and
social phobia), depression, those who are
making transitions in their lives, suffering from grief, loss, trauma, illness, and addiction.
The shyness - BI index significantly predicted the number of spontaneous comments
made by children (mean ± SD, 3.39 ± 4.87; range, 0 - 17) while the electrodes were being placed on their scalps, and the number of lifetime symptoms of
social phobia (mean ± SD, 2.26 ± 2.72; range, 0 - 8) collected by the K - SADS interview, but no other symptoms of mental disorders assessed
with the K - SADS (the prediction closest to significance pertained to separation anxiety,
with P =.18).
