A Case Report on the Use of Relaxation and Systematic Desensitization to Control Multiple Compulsive Behaviors
Tanner, Barry A.
Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry, 2, 4, 267-272, Dec 71
Ten compulsive behaviors were recorded by a client during 23 weeks of counseling. The frequency records indicated sizeable decreases in the behaviors following relaxation, with additional, smaller decreases following desensitization. Changes in the MMPI and Fear Survey Schedule corroborated the client's self report of improved functioning. She had maintained her gains ten months after termination. (Author)
