Abstract
SUMMARYAdults living in a mental handicap hospital, for whom fear of dogs was a problem, were included in a group treatment programme. Treatment involved gradual desensitisation over a period of 21 weekly sessions, making use of video and modelling procedures, and exposure to four different dogs. At the end of treatment, the majority showed an increased ability to cope with dogs. This improvement was maintained after nine months in those who had the opportunity to practise.
