A psychotherapist used systematic desensitization combined with other behavior techniques to treat a client who had been experiencing spontaneous recurrences of LSD effects for 5 months. The treatment eliminated the target flashback symptoms and also produced additional desired changes in the client's cognitive-affective state and behavior. The article presents a theoretical explanation of LSD flashback effects based on a role-enactment model.
