Audio-taped exposure therapy in a case of obsessional neurosis.
A patient-recorded audio-tape of intrusive ideation was employed as the anxiety evoking stimulus during the course of exposure therapy with an obsessional neurotic. Detailed records of the patient's subjective anxiety within and across treatment sessions documented the remission of self-reports of obsessional ideation. Treatment gains were maintained at 1-year follow-up.
