Abstract
Some important issues in the development of clinical behavior therapy are discussed and it is concluded that too little attention has been given the issues of implementation and field efficacy. In order for behavior therapy to receive the broad clinical application that it deserves according to its empirical merits behavioral research needs to concentrate on studies of field efficacy, i.e. how well do standard behavioral methods work in the hands of clinicians in ordinary mental health settings. Connected to this issue is the neccessity of doing research on implementation of behavioral methods.
