This paper describes the behavioral treatment of a continuing separation anxiety experienced by a 31 yr old male with a long history of school phobia in childhood. The patient was successfully treated by using a wide variety of behavioral strategies. One novel therapeutic technique was used: the patient wore a bleeper which sounded as a regular reminder to prepare for a phobic situation and to relax in the face of anticipated fearful events.
