Abstract

Recent philosophic debates about scientific realism, it is argued, are germane to issues concerning behavior therapy theories and outcome hypotheses. In this article, I try, first, to clarify a kind of realism that is relevant in particular to behavior therapy. Second, I try to provide some support for this sort of realism.
