For stimuli that are easily be presented according to a strict plan of desensitisation and counterconditioning the prognosis is good. The prognosis is guarded if fearful stimuli are regularly encountered at fear-eliciting intensity during behavioural therapy, because this will undermine behavioural therapy. Prognosis is also guarded when cats react to a wide, and generalising, range of stimuli. Prognosis in such case may be improved through the use of psychoactive medication. | For stimuli that are easily be presented according to a strict plan of desensitisation and counterconditioning the prognosis is good.
