Abstract
The literature on behavioural treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is reviewed. Two sets of behavioural procedures have been commonly employed in the treatment of anxiety disorders in general and in the treatment of PTSD specifically: exposure based procedures and anxiety management techniques (AMT). Both sets of procedures appear to be promising in the treatment of PTSD following both combat and rape experiences.Keywords
