Abstract
In this pilot trial, 15 phobic Asian Americans were randomly assigned to standard one-session treatment (OSTS), culturally adapted one-session treatment (OST-CA), or manualized self-help. At posttreatment, OST (combined standard and culturally adapted) led to greater reductions in phobic avoidance and anxiety than self-help. Moreover, analyses comparing the two active treatments showed trends favoring OST-CA over OST-S. Results suggest that Asian Americans may benefit most from empirically supported treatments that consider Asian cultural values. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved).Entities:
