Modified induced anxiety: A generalized anxiety reduction procedure.

A 25-yr-old male suffering from pervasive anxiety was treated with a modified induced anxiety procedure which attempted to focus the patient's awareness on the proprioceptive and somatic cues to anxiety, devoid of their situational context. A multiple-baseline design across 3 anxiety levels was used to demonstrate functional control over the problem behavior. Results indicate that as modified induced anxiety was sequentially applied to anxiety levels, there was a corresponding decline in self-monitored anxiety at the targeted level.
