提出了一种治疗儿童恐惧症的相互抑制(3)技术,该技术主要由Wolpe的“系统脱敏”方法改编而成(4)。而不是诱导肌肉放松作为焦虑抑制反应,某些情绪唤起的情况呈现给孩子的想象。被诱导的情绪,就像放松一样,被认为具有与焦虑不相容的自主作用。这项被作者暂时称为“情绪意象”的技术被应用于9名年龄在7到14岁之间的患有恐惧症的儿童。7名儿童平均在3.3次治疗中康复,随访12个月后未发现复发或症状替代。这种儿科技术的一个突出特点是缓解发生的速度非常快。
A Reciprocal Inhibition (3) technique for the treatment of children's phobias is presented which consists essentially of an adaptation of Wolpe's method of “systematic desensitization” (4). Instead of inducing muscular relaxation as the anxiety-inhibiting response, certain emotion-arousing situations are presented to the child's imagination. The emotions induced are assumed, like relaxation, to have autonomic effects which are incompatible with anxiety. This technique, which the authors have provisionally labelled “emotive imagery” was applied to nine phobic children whose ages ranged from 7 to 14 years. Seven children recovered in a mean of 3.3 sessions and follow-up enquiries up to 12 months later revealed no relapses or symptom substitution. An outstanding feature of this paediatric technique is the extraordinary rapidity with which remission occurs.
