This study is to assess the efficacy of a brief, 11-week, manualized Taming Sneaky Fears for Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) and/or Selective Mutism (SM) child and parent group Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) treatment protocol. Children 4 to 7 years old (n = 88) meeting criteria for SAD and/or SM, and their parents are recruited from the Psychiatry Outpatient Program and participants will be randomized to either the Taming Sneaky Fears group or a parent psycho-education and child socialization group. Trained clinicians blinded to all measures and treatment assignment will administer pre, post and 6-month follow-up outcome measures. Investigators assess within-the-child and within-the-parent/environment factors that predict treatment outcomes.
