Snake phobic Ss in groups of 10 were presented with a verbal fantasy similar to those used in individual Implosive Therapy (IT) in order to explore the adaptability of the procedure to group use. A single 25-minute implosive presentation of the same material on audio tape was effective in reducing snake phobias in about the same percentage of Ss as individual IT. It was concluded that IT can be adapted to group use, but that care should be taken to ensure an opportunity for extinction to occur through repeated presentation of the fantasy material.
将10名患有恐蛇症的受试者分为一组,向他们呈现一种类似于个体内爆疗法(IT)中使用的言语幻想,以探索该程序在团体使用中的适应性。在录音带上对相同材料进行单次25分钟的内爆呈现,在减少恐蛇症方面的效果与个体内爆疗法对大约相同比例的受试者的效果相同。研究得出结论,内爆疗法可以适用于团体使用,但应注意确保通过反复呈现幻想材料,为消退创造机会。
