Two patients developed work phobias following major catastrophic physical illness. A combined approach to addressing their specific fears of returning to premorbid levels of work function utilized deep muscle relaxation, imagery based desensitization, social reinforcement, and shaping techniques. A significant increase in adaptive function and decrease in depressive symptomatology resulted in both cases within six weeks after initiation of treatment.
两名患者在经历重大灾难性身体疾病后出现了工作恐惧症。针对他们对恢复到病前工作功能水平的特定恐惧,采用了深度肌肉放松、基于意象的脱敏、社会强化和塑造技术相结合的方法。在治疗开始后的六周内,两名患者的适应功能均显著增强,抑郁症状均有所减轻。
