Abstract

This case study examines the use of covert sensitization and social skills training to treat an obscene telephone caller on a behaviorally-oriented inpatient psychiatric unit. Rapid decreases in penile tumescence associated with obscene telephone calling were obtained after covert sensitization treatment and were maintained at one year follow-up. Social skills training led to a decrease in social anxiety and increase in social behavior. Results support the combined clinical effectiveness of covert sensitization and social skills training for the treatment of obscene telephone calling.
