Abstract

The author presents a brief review of the theory and practices of behavior therapy, describing the various methods and their usefulness. He cites several studies which indicate more consistent success for behavior therapy than for analysis, in complex as well as simple neuroses, and also very low rates of relapse or the symptom substitution so often predicted by analysts.
