Abstract
The author critically examines the evidence for the effectiveness of the behavior therapies as described in the American Psychaitric Association's task force report on behavior therapy. He concludes that current attempts to evaluate behavior therapy suffer from inadequate methodology and that the claims for its therapeutic efficacy are excessive and unsupported by the controlled clinical evidence.Keywords
