Abstract
The pacing of participant modeling when given in one long immediate session, or delayed a week, or divided into three weekly sessions was compared when an explanatory rationale was given or withheld, and with clients exposed to real spiders versus toy octopi imagined as spiders. Real spiders, prolonged immediate rather than delayed or spaced sessions, and rationale provision all improved outcomes for 91 spider fearful adolescent girls. When later treated in a group, the former wait-controls equaled the gains of all but the strongest individual therapy condition.
