Extract

There are a number of established forms of treatment for neurotic symptoms. In some patients symptoms are relieved by drugs which control anxiety, in others by antidepressant drugs (Sargant and Dally, 1962), still others appear to respond to some form of individual or group psychotherapy. More recently behaviour therapy has been introduced, and there are now a number of reports which claim that it is successful in a variety of neurotic disorders (Eysenck, 1960a).
