ABSTRACT

As with the previous chapter, the intention of this chapter is not to teach you how to assess, diagnose, or treat the disorders discussed in this chapter. Only trained professionals must perform these activities. Instead, the purpose of this chapter is to provide general information about how qualified behavior therapists treat various disorders and to relate that information to the behavioral principles and procedures discussed in previous chapters. Behavioral and cognitive behavioral treatments of the disorders discussed in this chapter have received detailed coverage elsewhere (e.g., Antony & Barlow, 2010; Barlow, 2008; Beck, 2011; Lambert, 2013; Pear & Simister, in press).
