Since the last decade, behavior therapy techniques have been used for a variety of psychiatric problems. This paper summarizes the therapeutic indications where behavior therapy appears to be the treatment of choice as well as those where behavioral techniques can be an adjunct. Contra-indications are described and examples of different combinations of treatment are reported.
