CHLORDIAZEPOXIDE : AN EFFECTIVE ADJUNCT TO PSYCHOTHERAPY OF THE NEUROTIC STATES
Abstract
Psychotherapy was facilitated in two significant regards: 1) through the alleviation of anxiety, and relaxation without oversedation, chlordiazepoxide markedly augmented patient-therapist communication, thereby promoting better insight, making constructive therapy possible; 2) through its psychological protection against the threat of anxiety, the patient was fortified against stress-provoking situations encountered between office visits.
In none of this group would it have been possible for chlordiazepoxide or psychotherapy alone to effect as promptly the degree of benefit that their combination achieved. As an adjunct to psychotherapy this agent fulfills a long-recognized need.
