Weight Control Through Covert Sensitization and False Feedback

Elliott, Charles H.; Denney, Douglas R.

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 43, 6, 842-850, Dec 75

Subjects (N=45) were treated with one of three weight control procedures: (a) attention placebo; (b) covert sensitization; and (c) covert sensitization augmented by false physiological feedback. Although all treatment groups lost weight, there was no differential weight loss among the groups at posttest or a 4-week follow-up test. (Author)
