The present paper aims to describe the work of a behaviourally oriented psychologist in the treatment of agoraphobia, the most common single problem referred in two years' work in primary care. Apart from its high frequency, agoraphobia has a particular relevance to the general practice settings as it is a problem which relates very specifically to the patient's home environment. A recent study by Mathews et al., (in press) found that a home-based treatment of agoraphobia produced at least as much improvement as clinic based treatments and required less therapist time. One might expect that a psychologist operating from the local health centre might achieve many of the advantages of such a program with a possible decrease in therapist time as travelling is reduced.

The British Association for Behavioural Psychotherapy is a multi-disciplinary organisation whose object is to promote the advancement of the theory and practice of behavioural psychotherapy ; that is the application of findings from experimental psychology and related sciences to the problem of helping people change those aspects of their behaviour and experience which cause them distress. The 550 members include doctors, nurses, psychologists, social workers and other professionals, who have experience in using psychological methods of promoting behaviour change in a wide variety of settings. The behavioural approach has over the last 20 years developed a significant role in the treatment of a number of problem behaviours. While recognising that behaviour is determined by a large number of factors the behavioural psychologist works largely from the view that the environment plays a large part in determining the things a person does. Its theoretical foundation argues that many behavioural disorders are learned and that these can be alleviated if the patient can be helped to learn or relearn more adaptive or acceptable behaviour. The model of intervention used can be summarised in terms of the following principles: (a) Detailed analysis of behaviour and environmental or situational circumstances associated with it. (b) Consequent identification of circumstances that facilitate or inhibit the occurence of the behaviour. (c) Clear directive goal setting in order to change or influence established behaviour patterns using a variety of therapeutic tactics, e.g., anxiety management, providing incentives for change and bio-feedback. (d) Systematic monitoring of progress as well as careful evaluation of treatment outcome. This latter point of evaluation is characteristic of the approach in that its continuing development has stemmed from a tradition of critical self-evaluation using scientific methods.

Data on the results of cognitive therapies and theoretical models to explain them are proliferating. Yet from the current state of the evidence it is clear that we have as yet been furnished far more richly with questions than answers. Watts (1977) has indicated some of the issues remaining. What relationship has cognitive behaviour therapy to cognitive psychology as a whole? What kind of cognitive processes is it concerned with? How should these be formulated and investigated? Can covert stimuli and behaviours be equated with overt, both functionally and formally? How far must the individual be aware of (able explicitly to discriminate and describe) covert processes? What is the use of imaginal stimuli in cognitive behaviour therapy? What kind of changes take place during it? The achievement of answers to these and related questions is more than likely to have been hindered than helped by the vituperative nature of the arguments raging between the radical behaviourist and cognitive fields.

Behaviour Modification has been applied in education since the early days of operant Work. In the Beginning, almost all applications were with children, but in recent years research has begun on behaviour modification methods for training professional behaviour modifiers, including therapists (Matarazzo, 1971), teachers (Peck & Tucker, 1973), and parents (O'Dell, 1974). A few of these techniques have begun to replace the traditional “higher education” methods that still predominate in the training of behaviour modifiers at all levels. This paper will describe as a case study a training programme which is coordinated by this author.
