Eleven female volunteers completed a 6-month treatment program consisting of a 2-month baseline phase, 2 months of biofeedback training (X number of sessions = 12.9), and 2 months of follow-up data collection. Subjects were assigned to one of two treatment groups: skin temperature training or EMG training of the frontalis muscle. Self-report data were gathered by means of the Symptom Severity Scale. Results, which were analyzed according to a 2 X 3 (treatment X phase) split-plot factorial design, indicate a highly significant overall treatment effect (F = 19.32 p less than .001). There was no significant difference between treatments (F = .47) and no significant interaction effect (F = 1.74).

Paul W. Clement was American psychology's quintessential "Renaissance Man." He was an archetypal scientist-practitioner, ever in the forefront of advancing psychology as a science, as a means of promoting human welfare and as a profession. His pioneering work in creating The Psychological Center at Fuller Seminary's Graduate School of Psychology, a comprehensive community clinic serving people across the life span and addressing the full range of severity in problems of living, was recognized in the American Psychologist as one of the two best examples in the country of how psychological services can be delivered to benefit the public. And his series of seminal papers summarizing client outcomes from nearly 50 years of independent practice sounded the trumpet for psychologists in independent practice to publish studies to help establish practice-based evidence on the effectiveness of psychotherapy.
