Wolpe applied a purportedly analogous procedure (later called systematic desensitization) to human beings suffering from phobias. The phobic situation played the role of the loud noise while training in relaxation played the role of food. Just as in the case of the cats, human beings could bring themselves to remain calm while in close physical proximity with previously phobic stimuli, provided that the phobic stimulus was initially held psychologically distant or at a low level and only slowly growing in salience. Wolpe (1961) claimed a 91% suc- cess rate for systematic desensitization. Even his close followers, like Arnold Lazarus, could not match it. So we have to say that, in the field of supposedly scientif- ically based therapy anyway, those who start from a purported scientific basis can end up as gurus like Mesmer and those who followed him in the fields of magnetic diseases and hypnotism.
