Abstract
In recent years it has become widely known that behaviour therapy (conditioning therapy) is effective in the treatment of neuroses. However, in many minds, this knowledge has come to be hedged by some erroneous qualifications, of which the commonest are: (a) that behaviour therapy leaves the “deep” cause of neurosis untouched, and (b) that it is successful with “monosymptomatic” and allegedly simple cases like phobias, but not with more complex neuroses, such as obsessions and “character neuroses”.Keywords
