A maintenance program for behavioral treatment of anxiety disorders. 1989

L G Ost

A maintenance program for behavioral treatments of anxiety disorders is presented in some detail, together with preliminary results of its application as part of three treatment trials. Compared to previous studies reporting long-term effects of behavioral treatments, the present program yielded a larger percentage of improvement during the follow-up period, a lower proportion of patients needing further treatment, and fewer relapses.
