Preliminary Communication: 1: Declining-dose drug desensitization for phobias
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 July 2009
Synopsis
The use of a technique of Declining-dose Drug Desensitization (DDDD) in phobic patients is described. An anti-anxiety drug is used (diazepam), the blood level declining during each treatment session and the starting dose for each treatment session being gradually reduced. Some relevant animal work on state-dependent learaing in the drugged-state is briefly reviewed. Despite the multiplicity of other treatments available this method would appear to have some advantages.
