Gradually fading the frequency of the sessions with "booster sessions" scheduled as needed. 3. Using multiple therapists and other patients in the role playing, so that the learning will not become stimulus bound to a single therapist. 32 CHAPTER 3 4. Teaching the patient to use self-instructions and self-reinforcement outside of the training situation.
