TY - JOUR PY - 1987// TI - Not safe at home: behavioral treatment of a child's fear of being at home alone JO - Journal of behavior therapy and experimental psychiatry A1 - Peterson, L. SP - 381 EP - 385 VL - 18 IS - 4 N2 - The behavioral treatment of a child's fear of being alone in her own home is described. Gaining control over frightening images and increasing coping behaviors such as relaxation, distraction, and self-instruction during progressive behavioral rehearsal reduced self-reported fears and increased adaptive responding. The utility of such techniques, particularly control over frightening imagery, is discussed.
