Behaviour Research and Therapy, 1984
Abstract A concerted move towards the use of experimental analyses is proposed. It is suggested that our understanding of agoraphobia can best be advanced by taking this step. The argument in support of such a move is illustrated and developed in respect of the role of safety signals in maintaining and influencing agoraphobic behaviour.
