Joseph Wolpe brought about a revolution in psychotherapy. He provided the first clear alternative to therapy as an esoteric exploration of mental forces and presented, instead, clearly specified procedures and documented outcomes - a practical technology based on a fundamental science of learning.
Roger Poppen, who witnessed some of this revolution first hand as a doctoral student, describes the major impact Wolpe′s theories had on psychotherapy, compelling it to address issues of effectiveness and accountability.
