CBT for a person with schizophrenia: Systematic Desensitization for phobias led to positive symptom improvement
Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy, 2005Co-Authors: Robert Dudley, Jaime Dixon, Douglas TurkingtonAbstract:Affective symptoms are often present and under-treated in schizophrenia. This case study reports the effect of treatment of a specific phobia and associated avoidance on the psychotic symptoms of a patient with medication resistant schizophrenia. The treatment of the specific phobia and agoraphobia followed a traditional Systematic Desensitization procedure. The successful treatment of the phobias led to improvements in psychotic symptoms. Previously, the client had only a limited response to a number of antipsychotic medications including clozapine but responded well to a traditional Systematic Desensitization program that produced positive consequences for the psychotic symptomatology. The clinical and theoretical aspects of this case are discussed.

Comment on the Status of Systematic Desensitization
Behavior modification, 2004Co-Authors: F. Dudley Mcglynn, Todd A. Smitherman, Kelly D. GothardAbstract:Articles about Systematic Desensitization that appeared in mainstream behavior therapy journals between the years 1970 and 2002 were counted. Graphic displays of the data point to a sudden and lasting decline of interest in Systematic Desensitization among academics and researchers. A questionnaire concerning clinical use of orthodox Systematic Desensitization was mailed to 310 selected providers. Returns from 171 of those providers show that use of Systematic Desensitization has declined but continues to be fairly widespread. The decline of interest in Systematic Desensitization is explained; arguments are offered that revitalized interest would be beneficial but is not likely to occur.

The Therapeutic Contribution of Music in Music-Assisted Systematic Desensitization for Substance Addiction Treatment: A Pilot Study
Arts in Psychotherapy, 2017Co-Authors: Vasileios Stamou, Rebecca Clerveaux, Lelouda Stamou, Sarah Le Rocheleuil, Lucie Berejnoi, Lucia Romo, Pierluigi GrazianiAbstract:We previously reported that music-assisted Systematic Desensitization can counter-condition substance-related cues and reduce the implicated craving responses, as well as improve cognitive and psychopathological components of substance addiction. This follow-up study investigated the therapeutic contribution of listening to recorded New Age relaxing music in counterconditioning external substance-conditioned cues, as well as in the amelioration of everyday life craving reactivity, craving beliefs and depression. Twenty-one substance addicted individuals participated in a three-week randomized controlled trial consisting of two therapeutic sessions per week. Participants were randomly assigned to one of the two study groups, Systematic Desensitization combined with listening to New Age relaxing music recorded in individual MP3 devices, and Systematic Desensitization without music. Measurements of craving in response to external substance-conditioned cues, craving beliefs, everyday craving reactivity and depression took place at baseline, post-treatment and one month after the end of treatment. No significant group differences in the outcome measures were observed between both arms of the study but within group and time results suggest that listening to New Age relaxing music significantly enhances Systematic Desensitization and accounts for significant reductions of craving responses to external substance-conditioned cues and of craving beliefs associated with compulsive behaviour in the music group. Our study provides the first evidence on the potential therapeutic contribution of music to cue counterconditioning in substance addiction treatment. Further investigation on the capacity of music to increase the effectiveness of Systematic Desensitization seems warranted.
