摘要

The purpose of this study is to see the effect of social support from the parent on anxiety in adult women. This is experimental research with one subject of 25-year-old single woman with initial N, who comes to a therapist with complaints of feeling uncomfortable and worried. The client always thinks negatively and feels anxiety when leaving the house and making interactions with others. Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN) was used to measure the level of anxiety. Measurements were made at the pretest and posttest to see differences in the anxiety level before and after therapy. The results of this study indicate a decrease in anxiety levels in the subject, from very severe to moderate anxiety. At the end of the therapy session, the subject also mentioned that she felt less anxiety and managed to control her negative thoughts.
