Chinese Therapists’ Beliefs About Exposure Therapy for Anxiety and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders

Conclusions: The results of this study support the reliability of the Chinese version of the TBES. Chinese therapists had more negative beliefs about exposure than did American therapists who were evaluated in a different study; however, therapists’ negative beliefs were significantly reduced after they attended an ERP training workshop. Future studies are encouraged to explore effective strategies to improve the disseminiation and delivery of exposure therapy in China.
