The Ineffectiveness of Systematic Desensitization and Assertive Training in Hospitalized Schizophrenics
Serber, Michael; Nelson, Philip
Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry, 2, 2, 107-109, Jul 71

In none of the patients did desensitization produce any reduction of avoidance of the feared object. The assertive training produces minimal improvement in two patients. (Author)
