154 TERENCE M. KEANE el ni.
Given the extent of his sy~lptomatology,we found it reasonable to
approach the exposure phase of treahnent with Mr. G. by the initialuse of
imaginal techniques. While Mr. G. found &is aspect of treahnent difficult,
it did prepare i-dm for the even more trying phase of returning to the site
of his victimization With the successful completion ofeach phase, he did
gain a sense of mastery and efficacy that communicated to him that he
could indeed overcome the fears and frightening images of his assault.
These changes were accompanied by improvements in his substance
abuse, depression, and his marital and interpersonalrelationships. Futher,
Mr. G. was himself satisfied with the course of treatment that he received.
