An Indicator of Tension during Reciprocal Inhibition
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 January 2018
Extract
Wolpe (1958) has described the technique of treating phobias by reciprocal inhibition. The patient is encouraged to relax by appropriate procedures, and is then asked to fantasy a series of situations which he has previously arranged in order of their ability to evoke anxiety. This personal hierarchy of situations is put to him for short periods in ascending order.
