Use of the cognitive behavior drama model to treat specific phobias in high-functioning children with autism: A case study.

A case is presented illustrating how the cognitive behavior drama (CBD) model was used to provide a 6-year-old child diagnosed with autism the motivation to engage in a process of gradual exposure to a fear-provoking stimulus, which led to the complete elimination of fear-related symptoms and maintenance of treatment effects for 1 year postintervention. Furthermore, the results of this study support previous findings on the effectiveness of the CBD model in treating childhood fears in high-functioning individuals diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder and further exemplifies the rationale and structure of the model to allow for replication of the study to a wider population.
