Abstract
Robbins' Neuro-Associative Conditioning (NAC) model is described and its value in providing a structure for therapeutic work outlined. The applicability of the model is illustrated through a single-session treatment of dental phobia which makes use of: (i) case taking by means of a problem solving model to identify patient needs, (ii) interruption of an old behavior/emotional pattern through use of Bandler's (1) Theatre technique, and (iii) installation of new behavior through success imagery.
