Description
Summary:The multiple‐baseline across responses design was used to assess the effectiveness of a belief‐modification treatment package to alter the intensity of three delusional beliefs of a chronically mentally ill inpatient. Results revealed reductions in belief intensity to zero levels for all three beliefs. Generalization effects were obtained for an individualized interview and psychiatric rating scale. These results were maintained through a 6‐month follow‐up period.
