Lauded by Aldous Huxley, Andrew Salter’s revolutionary book introduced behavior therapy as well as many specific techniques still used today, including methods for assertion, getting in touch with one’s feelings, relaxation, imagery, and short-term therapy. Conditioned Reflex Therapy also includes numerous case studies of how Salter helped his clients quickly overcome their phobias, anxieties, and depression.
Andrew Salter (May 9, 1914 – October 6, 1996) was the founder of conditioned reflex therapy, an early form of behaviour therapy which emphasized assertive and expressive behaviour as the way to combat the inhibitory personality traits which Salter believed were the underlying cause of most neuroses. In the 1940s, Salter introduced to American psychotherapy a Pavlovian model of hypnotherapy and self-hypnosis training.
