Note: Studies cited for efficacy evidence are linked to specific treatment manuals or to procedures well described in the study's report. The operational definition of the treatment is to be found in those manuals; the labels used here do not suffice to identify the particular treatment judged to be efficacious.

* Indicates a treatment added or a recommendation altered since the publication of Chambless et al. (1996). Two treatments have been deleted, not because of negative evidence, but because, unlike the other treatments, we do not have specific target problems identified yet for these approaches: token economy (target problem not specified) and behavior modification for people with developmental disabilities (target unspecified).
