title: [Behavioral approaches to the phobias].
abstract: Behaviour therapies have appeared to be especially efficient for reducing unreasonable fears and phobias. All the various methods used in phobic neuroses refer to cognitive factors. They are preceded by a detailed behaviour analysis. They are practiced either in imagination or in vivo. Most authors report that relatively few sessions are necessary to obtain fear reduction and that these results are lasting.
