title: Submodalities. II: Theatre technique in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder.
abstract: Bandler's theatre technique for the treatment of phobias is described and its application to post-traumatic stress disorder is illustrated by means of a case study. Attention is drawn to the manner in which the technique makes use of double dissociation and a sense of the ridiculous to help patients modify their thinking.
