Recontacted 17 Ss who had undergone successful imaginal or in vivo desensitization for snake phobia and had been evaluated pre- and posttreatment for a 9-month follow-up. Main findings were that: (a) overall treatment gains were maintained through the follow-up period; (b) differential gains in favor of the in vivo technique on one behavioral and two self-report snake-specific criteria were dissipated; and (c) imaginal Ss registered a reduction in self-rated fear during an approach task from posttesting to follow-up. Results are discussed in relation to the notion of cognitive rehearsal as a means of self-reinforcing treatment gains.
重新联系了17名曾因恐蛇症接受过成功的意象或现场脱敏治疗的受试者，并在治疗前和治疗后进行了评估，随访期为9个月。主要发现如下：(a) 在随访期内，总体治疗效果得以维持；(b) 在一项行为标准和两项自我报告的特定于蛇的标准上，有利于现场治疗技术的差异效果消失了；(c) 意象治疗组的受试者在从测试后到随访期间的接近任务中，自评恐惧有所降低。结合认知排练这一自我强化治疗效果的手段的概念对结果进行了讨论。
