24 male and 24 female college subjects were interviewed individually by a male graduate student, using standardized interviews. Intimacy of subjects' self-disclosures during the interviews was investigated in relation to interviewing style (reflecting versus disclosing), seating arrangement (presence or absence of intervening desk), sex of subjects, and the temporal sequence of the interview. Results showed a significant correlation of intimacy of self-disclosure as measured by judges' content ratings of the interviews and as measured by subjects' use of self-referrent words. Intimacy of self-disclosure did not differ significantly as a function of sex or seating arrangement but increased significantly over time in response to both reflecting and self-disclosing comments by the interviewer.

A case of obsessive-compulsive neurosis which developed in a young woman after she had viewed the fetus expelled during a therapeutic abortion with hypertonic saline is reported. The treatment, involving both psychodynamic psychotherapy and behavior therapy, illustrates the use and possible interaction of these therapies in the same patient.
