title: The use of an in vitro flooding package in the treatment of traumatized adolescents.
abstract: An in vitro flooding package was used to treat the posttraumatic stress disorders of two adolescents. Traumatic scenes were identified through nonstructured interviews, and stimulus response imagery cues were presented according to a multiple baseline across traumatic scenes design. Posttreatment and 6-month follow-up assessments revealed meaningful improvements in the patients' affective, behavioral, and cognitive parameters.
