title: Behavior therapy of anxiety disorders: motivating the resistant patient.
abstract: The authors discuss several psychotherapy techniques that mix well and are often indispensable adjuncts in the behavioral therapy of treatment-resistant anxiety-disorder patients. These include psychoeducation, family therapy, psychodynamic interpretations, paradoxical injunctions, and assertiveness training. Multimodal approaches are often indicated with patients who would otherwise not tolerate exposure treatment.
