Abstract

Vumile represents an individual with social phobia who experienced a successful outcome after being treated with a manualized treatment based on Clark and Wells’ (1995) theoretical model (Edwards & Kannan, 2006). This commentary reviews issues in the debate regarding manualized treatments, with an emphasis on how the case of Vumile represents the best of what manualized treatments and empirically based approaches to clinical practice have to offer. Additionally, the fit of the case of Vumile with Clark and Wells’ (1995) theoretical model is considered.
