    Abstract:
    Single-S experimental methodology was used to evaluate the relationship between distinct patterns of deviant sexual arousal and heterosexual arousal. Five male 22-46 yr old Ss, each exhibiting 2 patterns of deviant arousal, were successfully treated with covert sensitization. Physiological and self-report measures of arousal revealed that heterosexual arousal did not increase as deviant arousal declined, and deviant arousal did not decline as heterosexual arousal increased. Each pattern of deviant arousal did not decline until sequentially treated with covert sensitization. In addition, covert sensitization was effective in treating a wide variety of deviant arousal patterns. The theoretical and clinical implications of a functional independence among various patterns of sexual arousal are discussed.
