Abstract
The scientist-practitioner model has long been espoused within cognitive behavioural psychotherapy. The study includes an evaluation of the efficacy of cognitive therapy for driving phobia. Assessment, formulation and practical treatment of this common problem are also reported. Self-report measures evaluated results. Eight of the 10 consecutive cases improved significantly and reported that the intervention was acceptable. A reflexive analysis of the research findings and the influences on the first author's practice as a researcher and practitioner are also explored. Recommendations for future research are also made.
