Introduction
Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is defined as a marked and persistent fear of social
interaction/social performance situations. People suffering from SAD fear that they will act
in a manner that will incur embarrassment or humiliation (APA, 2000).
More than 13% of the population meet the diagnostic criteria for SAD at some point in their
lives (Kessler et al. 1994). Social anxiety is a relatively recent diagnosis (APA, 1980, 2000),
and up to 40% of the general population describes itself as ‘shy’ (Zimbardo et al. 1974). SAD

had not been defined until recently, and it was previously described as the ‘neglected’ anxiety
disorder (Liebowitz et al. 1985). However, in recent years, the prevalence and treatment of
SAD has increased markedly [e.g. medication, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) both with
and without medication]; CBT is considered an effective treatment (NICE, 2011).
The present study demonstrates the changes in ‘picturing of self’ (to which SAD individuals
pay attention and project on themselves) through the course of CBT, mainly the Clark &
Wells (1995) model for SAD. In this report, sessions involved a 50-min individual CBT
psychotherapy and completion of a self-rating scale prior to the session; additionally, one
patient completed a human figure drawing task after the session, and another used the brief
video-taped feedback in one of the sessions. The two patients underwent 12 or 13 sessions on
a once a week basis at an outpatient psychiatric clinic in Japan. In addition, the standard CBT
homework between sessions was assigned collaboratively.
Human figure drawing is an instrument for measuring psychopathology, as the drawings
provide a glimpse into the individual’s state of mind. Drawings can be seen as a measure of
an individual in relation to the world and others: ‘in general terms, the drawing of the person
represents the expression of self, or the body, in the environment’ (Anderson & Anderson,
1951, p. 348). Human figure drawing in the clinical setting was initially conceptualized as the
Draw-A-Man (DAM) test by Goodenough-Harris (1926). Machover (1949/1953) designed
the Draw-A-Person (DAP) test.
The aim of the present study was to describe the ‘picturing of self’ procedure and assess
the effect on SAD symptoms (e.g. ‘picturing of self’) within the context of CBT.
Methods
The present study demonstrates the changes in ‘picturing of self’ in two cases; for one case, a
brief video feedback (VF) was used, and a projective drawing was used in the other. The CBT
used for the treatment was based on the Clark & Wells (1995) model with modifications.
Measurements
Several self-rating questionnaires and structured diagnostic interviews [M.I.N.I (Sheehan
et al. 1995) and SCID-I (First et al. 1997)] were administered to aid in the assessment,
diagnosis, conceptualization, and CBT in both patients (cases A and B). The participants
completed the four self-rating scales prior to the individual sessions, and these were used to
monitor outcomes, which are described below.
Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS). The LSAS (Liebowitz, 1987) is a 24-item self-report
that examines the impact of social anxiety on various areas of life. The LSAS contains 24
situations, and respondents indicate on a 4-point scale the degree of anxiety experienced
in each social situation. Each item is rated separately for fear (0 = none, 3 = severe) and
avoidance behaviour (0 = never, 3 = usually). The research recommends a cut-off point of
30. Higher scores indicate a greater fear of social interaction (Heimberg et al. 1992).
Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN). Another SAD-related scale, SPIN (Connor et al. 2000) was
implemented. This questionnaire is a 17-item self-report measure designed to examine the
presence and severity of fear, avoidance, and physiological symptoms of anxiety associated
Self-picturing and CBT for SAD 3
with SAD. All items are rated on a 5-point scale (0 = not at all, 4 = extremely) where
respondents indicate the frequency at which they experience physiological, cognitive, and
behavioural aspects of social anxiety across a range of situations (Connor et al. 2000). Again,
higher scores correspond to a greater level of anxiety of. A difference score is calculated by
subtracting the agoraphobia subscale from the social phobia subscale, with a difference score
of ࣙ60, indicating possible SAD (Turner et al. 1989).
Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire (GAD-7). The GAD-7 (Spitzer et al. 2006) is a
7-item self-report measure of the rate of anxiety. Items are rated on a 4-point scale ranging
from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day).
Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). The PHQ-9 (Spitzer et al. 1999) is a 9-item self-report
measure of depression associated with DSM-IV-TR (APA, 2000) criteria. Items are rated on
a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day).
Human figure drawing (e.g. DAM test/DAP test). An additional measure, human figure
drawing (e.g. DAM test/DAP test), was used for projective drawing in case B. Human figure
drawing is instructed simply by: ‘please draw a person on an 8.5 × 10.0 inch sheet of a blank
paper with a pencil’.
The DAP test was initially developed by Machover (1949), to assess children’s intelligence;
however, in addition to measuring intelligence, the test is a source of rich clinical information,
and can be used as a means of uncovering a client’s attributes that cannot be verbally
expressed. The original scoring was devised by Machover (1949), and Machover (1949)
and Koppitz (1968) stipulated ways to analyse drawings from an emotional perspective.
It is thought to be a useful diagnostic tool for identifying psychological problems (e.g.
uneasiness), and it is now widely used in psychological testing. Further, the test is believed
to effectively evoke anxieties, impulses, conflicts, and compensations characteristic of an
individual (Gillespie, 1994).
The guidelines for interpretation of projective drawing are as follows. The head is thought
to represent the client’s thoughts and emotions regarding their self-image, their projected
perception of the outer world, and the aspects of their life, which collectively dictates their
adaptation to the social world. The mouth, reflects the client’s emotional experiences and their
knowledge (e.g. knowing, the ability to learn) of actuality/reality.
Sahaku (1991) emphasized the drawing process as, ‘when people are drawing, people are
creating a new means to it, or trying to examine the means of it’ (p. 46). Further, Sahaku
(1991) noted that ‘to picture/draw it changes in the self, and changes of self would become
a tool for wanting to draw a distinction drawing, and it is a process of changing’ (p. 46) and
implied that the drawing process has the potential to change the person/patient.
Thus the drawing process might represent an intervention, as clients are able to express their
feelings and perceptions regarding their inner and outer world. However, in this case it was
only used for measurement purposes. It enabled the therapist to understand better the inner and
outer world of Aya (case B) and how she had progressed/changed following CBT treatment.
The instruction given was simply ‘please draw a person’, and no limitations were imposed.
The materials provided were an 8.5 × 10.0 inch sheet of blank white paper and a pencil.
Through the course of the CBT psychotherapy, we evaluated how the figure changed based
on certain criteria (e.g. a doll-like figure vs. more human-like figure; the degree of shading,
4 Y. Tanaka and others
which can reflect anxiety levels; presence of facial features such as eyes and mouth, which
represent the patient’s relationship with the social environment).
Cases
Case A (Jun) was a 26-year-old unmarried male, and case B (Aya) was a 26-year-old
unmarried female. The patients’ names have been changed to protect their identities.
Case A
Case summary and problems
Jun was a 26-year-old unmarried Japanese male who developed social anxiety 4 years ago,
but was doing well until he reached the age of 26. He indicated that he was afraid of being
negatively evaluated, and this prevented him from fully concentrating at work. His symptoms
of SAD rendered him unable to continue his former job, causing him to resign and join his
present company. After switching jobs, his symptoms improved until he was in charge of a
new project. He was free of medication before and throughout the CBT sessions.
CBT consisted of 12 weekly 60-min individual sessions using the Clark & Wells (1995)
model. The CBT included homework between individual sessions. To reduce Jun’s fear of
how he was picturing himself, one brief VF session was conducted within the session. The
goal for Jun was to help him to work in front of others while he was on his PC without being
anxious of how he might be perceived and to be able to express his opinions without fear or
hesitation.
History
Jun’s medical history prior to the study was uneventful.
Case assessment
Jun was diagnosed with SAD using SCID-I. He had not been treated for his anxiety with
any medication and did not receive pharmacological treatment throughout this study. Jun had
been working for an information technology company as an engineer for 3 years. His previous
employment was with a similar company where he had also worked as an engineer. His highest
academic qualification was attending a professional school for information technology after
high school. He was born as a third son and lived with his parents. His main hobby was
watching foreign drama programmes (e.g. Flash Forward) on TV. Jun did not present any
serious social or economic problems at the beginning of the CBT therapy.
Case B
Case summary
Aya was a 26-year-old unmarried Japanese female. She had been experiencing social anxiety
and panic disorder for 3 years. Before undergoing CBT, she was prescribed antidepressant
(selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor; SSRI) medication to combat her anxiety of panic. She
received CBT administered in 13 weekly 60-min individual therapy sessions. The goals for
Self-picturing and CBT for SAD 5
her treatment were to reduce anxiety in an attempt to reduce her safety behaviours (the amount
of preparation she thought she needed to present a new proposal requested by her supervisor);
and to participate in social gatherings without feeling overly anxious.
At the time of the CBT sessions, Aya was feeling extremely sensitive about her supervisor’s
evaluations. She worried about participating in social gatherings with her colleagues, which
she usually avoided, and shunned conversations with others, often resorting to drinking,
which resulted in her attending hospital for acute alcohol intoxication on one occasion. Her
symptoms increased gradually and she developed a strong belief that ‘if she did not fulfil her
supervisor’s demands on time, she would be fired’. Aya pictured herself as a worthless person
and avoided interacting with others.
The SAD symptoms became even more severe after one of her colleagues was fired from
her company.
History
Aya’s medical history was uneventful until the age of 23 years, at which point she
came to the clinic because of intense feelings of panic and depression. She gradually
began to experience difficulties in interacting with co-workers and her supervisor. Aya
was prescribed antidepressant medication (sertraline hydrochloride, 50 mg/day), which she
continued throughout the CBT sessions. Apart from the medication, Aya was also treated
with interpersonal therapy for depression. She eventually gained control over her depression
symptoms, but her anxiety in social situations remained.
Case assessment
After referral for CBT therapy, Aya was diagnosed with SAD and panic disorder via the
M.I.N.I. She had been treated with 50 mg/day sertraline hydrochloride prior to and throughout
the CBT sessions. Aya had been working for a natural cosmetic company as an office worker.
Her highest academic qualification consisted of an undergraduate degree from art school.
After graduating, she attended a professional computer school. She lived with her parents and
her brother. Her hobbies were watching anime, contributing to fanzines, and socializing with
close friends. Aya presented no serious social or economic problems at the beginning of the
CBT sessions.
Therapist details
The therapist was a Japanese counsellor who was in her first year of a CBT training
programme at Chiba University [Chiba Improving Access to Psychological Therapy (IAPT)
training course] (Kobori et al. 2014). Weekly supervision was provided, and the therapist had
to provide case reports together with Manual of the Revised Cognitive Therapy Scale (CTS-R)
6 Y. Tanaka and others
evaluation from the supervisors. The therapist attended weekly group supervision (60 min)
sessions and fortnightly individual supervision (30 min) sessions.
Intervention
Both participants received psychoeducation and formulation for CBT, as well as cognitive
restructuring. The behavioural modification using videotaped feedback was limited to case A
(Fig. 1), and the cognitive modifications using metaphors and projective drawing were limited
to case B.
Predictions of transition
Psychoeducation of CBT and formulation of SAD
Each patient was first provided psychoeducation as part of CBT that consisted of the following
explanations: ‘Automatic thoughts that are self-focused lead to self-focused attention. These
Self-picturing and CBT for SAD 7
thoughts become distressing and repetitive due to the meaning people attach to them. In
people with SAD, such thoughts can induce a negative self-image and feeling of anxiety.
Such behaviours reinforce the way people think and feel.’ Both patients were asked to list the
situations they were anxious about regarding self-focused attention.
The therapist and the patient collaboratively developed his case formulation (Fig. 1) based
on his experiences. He had experienced social anxiety-related thoughts such as ‘What do I
look like when I’m in front of the computer and not typing’, which led to ‘I look like a strange
or ill person’. In a later section this will be tested. These interpretations led to discomfort
and self-focused attention. These behaviours in turn reinforced his beliefs, depriving him of
disconfirmation.
Case B: Aya’s case formulation (Fig. 2) and trigger situations were as follows:
In the above situations, Aya’s automatic thoughts included the following: ‘If I am unable
to fulfil my supervisor’s demands (including what she thought the supervisor had implied), I
will be in trouble or rejected or ‘I will lose my relationship’ with the belief that such rejection
or relationship dissolution meant that she would be fired. These automatic thoughts evoked
somatic symptoms such as heart palpitations and shaking hands. To avoid these symptoms,
Aya resorted to safety behaviours such as the following:
(1) Generating as many ideas for a proposal as possible so as to be prepared for all
eventualities.
(2) Paying attention to every word the supervisor says so that she will never have to ask a
single question.
(3) Finding excuses to avoid social gatherings such as ‘I have an anime that I want to
see on today’s TV’, or if she did end up attending, drinking excessively to avoid
communication/interaction with others.
(4) Not acknowledging her own feelings.
By engaging in her safety behaviours, Aya increased her self-focused attention (e.g. ‘I am
useless, worthless, or incompetent’). Aya’s safety behaviours in turn maintained her condition.
She gradually became incapable of perceiving social cues from others.

Therapy sessions
The therapy sessions focused on the changes in ‘picturing of self’ in each case, with case A
using brief VF, and case B using metaphors for A to B theory along with the human figure
drawing.
Case A
Cognitive restructuring and the behavioural modification: videotaped feedback
To challenge Jun’s negative ‘picturing of self’ behaviour, a brief VF session was employed to
help him visualize himself (see Table 1). Only the video image, not the audio, was provided
as feedback to Jun.
When an anxiety-provoking social situations emerged as he had predicted, he typically
interpreted the situation in the following way:
(1) He felt uncertain about whether he was able to perform adequately and thought ‘I would
appear as a fool or odd’.
(2) He thought that he was being ‘judged as a fool and that he would be humiliated in front
of others’.
(3) He also thought that when he was having problems working on the computer, he would
‘appear as a strange or ill person’.
In order to change his beliefs, we examined the basis of his worries. Through discussion
and behavioural modifications, he gained an understanding of his beliefs and challenged
them in front of the video. Since he had a negative self-image, we first recorded a video
of Jun in front of a computer to show him what he really looked like. He made some faces
to demonstrate what he thought he looked like. This VF experiment (Table 1) helped him
to alter his ‘picturing of self’ and established an understanding that ‘another person would
not see him as a fool even if he took time reading a challenging text’ (e.g. complicated or
novel engineering information). He also used the columns and A to B theory to resurrect his
thoughts.

Case B
In Aya’s case, the projective drawing test was performed in addition, as she had graduated
from an art school and was familiar with the act of drawing.
Projective drawing
The projective drawing test was given to the patient with the instruction ‘please draw a
person’, without any time limitations being imposed. The materials provided were 8.5 × 10.0
inch sheets of blank white paper and a pencil. The drawing was interpreted with emphasis on
no facial features (e.g. eyes, mouth) of the figure, which represents the patient’s relationship
with the social world, i.e. avoidance and refusal to relate to the world; and the amount of
shading, which correlates with anxiety levels.
Before the CBT psychotherapy, Aya continued to draw inorganic doll-like figures (Fig. 4a).
However, after receiving the 13 sessions, she drew a human figure (Fig. 4b). Initially, she drew
a shivering figure that was sitting on the ground, but she did not give us the permission to use
the drawing, so instead the small child-like figure (Fig. 4c) was used. The initial drawing
represents her being in this world without her safety behaviours, and experiencing the real
world.
Self-picturing and CBT for SAD 11
Discussion about excessively high standards for social performance and fear
During her therapy sessions, we discovered her high standard for social performance (e.g. ‘I
always have to be competent regardless of what the supervisor’s request is’). She was afraid
that if she was unable to fulfil the supervisor’s demands, she would be fired. These beliefs
of anxieties were so strong that we used ‘thought experiments’ to challenge her cognition.
She was offered the following metaphors; ‘think about the Japanese football team that you
expected [e.g. thought] to lose the match. Did it really lose the match as you had imagined?’
At that time, the football team was not expected to win, but it had won. She was also afraid of
saying ‘I was not able to do it’. Another metaphor depicted a marathon runner retiring from
a race. Runners are sometimes forced to retire from a race, but this does not mean that they
have to stop being a runner. Taking a break/retiring from one race is not the end of being
a runner, which refers to ceasing to be an office worker at the company. This metaphor was
transferred to Aya’s situation: ‘Even if you cannot do what the supervisor wanted on a specific
day, it is only a small part of the job’, and this statement was used to change her negative
thoughts/cognitions. When she felt a strong urge to fulfil every demand (safety behaviour) of
her supervisor, due to anxiety she typically interpreted the experience as follows:
(1) She felt uncertain whether she could fulfil those demands, which she considered
unbearable. She thought ‘I cannot bear the demands, but I have to accomplish them,
otherwise I will be regarded as incompetent’.
(2) She thought ‘it would become a very bad situation [e.g. scolded, punished, fired, etc.] to
renounce an assignment’.
(3) She tried to anticipate any upcoming demands (safety behaviour) by her supervisor in
order to fully prepare, or ‘I will be in trouble’.
Treatment outcome
Effect of CBT for SAD
In case A, Jun’s LSAS score decreased from 67 to 3 after 12 sessions, which corresponds to a
normal score. Over 12 sessions, he had realized that he would not be perceived or evaluated in
the way that he had imagined before CBT. Moreover, after the VF, Jun felt less anxious about
how he might be perceived (e.g. ‘I do not need to worry, . . . , I look normal’).
For case B, Aya’s LSAS score decreased from 85 to 40, and for 2 years since then she
has not experienced a relapse. Her human figure drawings, gradually changed to reflect her
changing perception of the environment, and the world figures she drew had changed from
faceless objects into more human-like figures (Fig. 4). With regard to the relationship between
shading and anxiety level, ‘the greater the shading the more intense is . . . anxiety’ and that
on the face is thought to reflect ‘poor self-concept’ (Oster & Gould, 1987, p. 24). Following
CBT, the amount and the quality of shading changed. She had learned that ‘picturing of self’
is not what she had thought it was before CBT and understood that she was able to feel her
emotions and do her work which she could not do before the CBT treatment.
Following the CBT sessions, the use of shading decreased. Moreover, she had learned that
the way she had previously imagined herself prior to CBT psychotherapy was not accurate.

Discussion
The present study demonstrates that CBT effectively treated the self-focused attention and
changed the aspect of ‘picturing of self’ over the course of the sessions. Reducing their
engagement in safety behaviours allowed the patients to change their projected images of
themselves. ‘Picturing of self’ was used in two different modalities, and in both cases it was
an effective approach to observe the changes in cognition (Boschen & Curtis, 2008).
patients’ maladaptive beliefs. The brief VF provided him with the means to perceive himself
more objectively, and this was crucial because it made it easier for him to revise his
automatic thoughts. The direct observation provided him with an immediate understanding
and facilitated long-term behavioural changes; thus he became less hesitant when talking
to others or expressing an opinion. As a result, his intrusive thoughts were no longer as
distressing and repetitive.
There was no need for him to feel insecure when speaking to others. In addition, the
cognitive restructuring challenged Jun’s beliefs, which included intolerance of uncertainty and
overestimation of threat. There was no need for him to feel insecure when speaking to others.
His beliefs were modified through examination of probability and worst-case scenarios of
anxiety-inducing situations. As a result, his intrusive thoughts were no longer as distressing
and repetitive.
At the 9th session, cognitive restructuring using memory rescripting was given and from
then his SPIN and PHQ-9 dropped effectively, although for Jun VF was pivotal in his progress,
as he reflected after the treatment, stating, ‘I do not need to care about how others perceive
me, and I look normal’.
CBT gave the patient greater insight that other people do not care as much about what
he is saying or doing. Through VF, the patient learned that his concerns about visual
appearance were unfounded. Thus, VF played a large part in improving his SAD cognitions
and interpretations.

indicated that her recovery was not complete and more treatment was needed, as illustrated
by the increased GAD-7 score. This increase may have been because the therapist was unable
to successfully challenge her anxiety-provoking beliefs and was not able to use VF for Aya,
as she refused to watch the video that was recorded.
The CBT sessions gradually changed her perception of the environment and also changed
her rejection of the world, as indicated by the changes in her drawings. She became more open
and able to relate to others. The figures she drew had changed from faceless objects into more
human-like figures (Fig. 4). Excessive fear made it impossible for her to consider alternative
ways of thinking and precluded her from learning through day-to-day living.
Moreover, while VF was suggested, Aya refused to watch herself on the video; however,
VF might have allowed her to fully change her belief and reduce her anxiety.
Sahaku (1991) places emphasis on the process of drawing itself as ‘when people are
drawing, people are creating a new means to it, or trying to examine the means to it’. In
addition, Sahaku (1991) states that ‘to picture/draw, it changes in the self, and changes of self
would become a tool to want to draw a distinction drawing, and it is a process of changing’
and this might enable an individual to change a maladaptive belief.
Another difference is that, with VF, the patient knows that it is him/herself in the video. VF
(Boschen & Curtis, 2008) enables patients to see and examine themselves objectively, while
the drawing method helps patients view emotions that might be difficult to verbalize and does
not require complicated operations, such as sentence formulation (Iwai, 1984).
A third difference is that the VF was conducted only once, while the projective drawing
task/test was conducted after every session.
Finally, the present case study demonstrates that CBT had an effect on ‘picturing of
self’, which can be regarded as self-projections of SAD. Helping the patients reduce
their performance of safety behaviours allowed for changes in their projective images of
themselves. ‘Picturing of self’ was used in two different modalities, and in both cases, it
was an effective means of assessing their cognitions (Boschen & Curtis 2008).
Memory phenomena associated with SAD have received increased attention following
Clark & Wells (1995) publication. For example, it is suggested that typical SAD patients
report less confidence with regard to how others perceive them and that they need more
information to become comfortable with how they might be perceived by others (Hirsch et al.
2004). Decreased confidence with regard to their perceptions, judgement, and memory is also
caused by SAD.
The present study has some limitations and suggests various future directions. First, since
we were unable to obtain solid baseline data, it was not completely clear that the improvement
was exclusively due to the CBT sessions. Second, it might have been advantageous to obtain
additional information, such as through Kosslyn’s Spontaneous Use of Imagery Questionnaire
(Reisberg et al. 2003) to see if the images of mental imagery would had been high for these
patients. Third, since the study was limited to a stable outpatient population, an understanding
of SAD and its treatment in a larger clinical population is still essential. Finally, we performed
weekly, individualized therapy; and the human figure drawings were limited to one case
therefore, the effectiveness with other patients needs to be examined.
Summary
This is a study of two cases, one using VF to make the change of ‘picturing of self’, and the
other using human figure drawing to see the changes in ‘picturing of self’. The CBT used for
the treatment was based on the Clark & Wells (1995) model with modifications.
