In this study, the nighttime problems of two girls diagnosed as having separation anxiety disorder were treated with cognitive-behavioral procedures. Through the use of a multiple baseline design across subjects, the additive effects of self-control training and self-control training plus contingent reinforcement were determined. For both girls, self-report of anxiety and behavioral avoidance of sleeping in their own beds was reduced significantly only when to the self-control training the reinforcement condition was added. Resolution of these nighttime problems also appeared to generalize to other features of separation anxiety disorder. The clinical and theoretical significance of these findings is discussed.
在本研究中，对两名被诊断患有分离焦虑症的女孩的夜间问题采用认知行为疗法进行治疗。通过对不同受试者使用多基线设计，确定了自我控制训练以及自我控制训练加偶然强化的累加效应。对于这两名女孩，只有在自我控制训练基础上增加强化条件时，焦虑的自我报告以及避免自己睡在床上的行为才会显著减少。这些夜间问题的解决似乎也推广到了分离焦虑症的其他特征。本文讨论了这些研究结果的临床和理论意义。
