Abstract

Four cases of PTSD, and their treatment, are described. Symptoms responded differently to two behavioural approaches. In-vivo exposure was effective for phobic anxiety while imaginal exposure improved dysphoria and some phobic symptoms. Audio-taped imaginal exposure may be important as part of treatment.
