Abstract (English):	According to Mowrer’s model on the genesis and maintenance of phobias (1960) and the integration of some cognitive techniques powered by Beck (1995) and Wells (1997), this article describes the conceptualisation and cognitive-behavioural therapy of a 34 year-old woman with anginophobia. Following the assessment phase, characterised by the administration of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2), the Symptom Checklist-90-R (SCL-90-R) and recourse to functional analysis, the intervention continued with the definition of Dobson’s treatment plan (2002), considered exhaustive by the writer and comprising four objectives organised on the basis of different levels of discomfort. The treatment drew on behavioural techniques, cognitive restructuring and assertiveness and self-esteem training in order to improve the patient’s adaptive functioning and quality of life. The article also highlights the most relevant aspects of the therapeutic relationship that is built together with the patient according to the specific characteristics of the cognitive- behavioural approach (Gilbert, Leahy; 2009). At the end of the treatment, the patient experienced a remission of symptoms with important improvements in mood, quality of thoughts, behaviour and physical well-being. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Italian):	L’articolo descrive la concettualizzazione e il trattamento cognitivo-comportamentale, secondo il modello comportamentale della genesi e del mantenimento delle fobie di Mowrer (1960) e l’integrazione di alcune tecniche cognitive di Beck (1995) e Wells (1997), di un caso di anginofobia, in una giovane donna di 34 anni. In seguito alla fase di assessment che ha previsto la somministrazione di strumenti quali il Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2), la Symptom Checklist-90-R (SCL-90-R) e il ricorso all’analisi funzionale, l’intervento è proseguito con la definizione del piano di trattamento secondo il modello di Dobson (2002), ritenuto dal terapista scrivente esaustivo e costituito da quattro obiettivi ordinati in base al grado di disagio provocato. Il trattamento ha previsto il ricorso a tecniche comportamentali — esposizione graduata — cognitive — ristrutturazione cognitiva — e a un training per l’assertività e per l’autostima, al fine di migliorare il funzionamento adattivo della paziente e la sua qualità di vita. Nell’articolo vengono, inoltre, evidenziati gli aspetti più rilevanti della relazione terapeutica, costruita insieme alla paziente, secondo le caratteristiche specifiche dell’approccio cognitivo-comportamentale (Gilbert & Leahy, 2009). Al termine del trattamento, la paziente ha riportato una remissione della sintomatologia con importanti miglioramenti nel tono dell’umore, nella qualità dei pensieri, dei comportamenti e del benessere fisico.
