The basic study - Meichenbaum (1975) 03


This finding of this study was the stress inoculation therapy as forms of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) provide to be very successful in this case, and is often shown to help reduce anxiety in stressful situations. However, as an example of CBT, it only applies to anxiety and not depression.
 The critical points were mainly three. One is that, the researcher used self-reports of the whether they felt their treatment had been successful. These are not necessarily reliable. Just because a person feels that something has no worked does not mean that they will receive no benefit from it. The other is that, SIT was found to be more successful following eight weeks of treatment. It could be that more systematic desensitization would have helped the students even more. This study does not address ‘optimum treatment period’ so we can’t be sure with of the methods is best, only that SIT worked better than systematic desensitization if a treatment if a treatment period of eight weeks is used.
