I am talking about "Systemic Desensitization" as developed by Wolpe. That helped form CBT.
The evidence base for SD and for CBT is pretty good. (It's a good treatment for depression, if applied by a skilled practitioner.)
Here's one link to a BBC Radio 4 programme about treatment of phobia using SD. (Might not be available outside UK, but there's probably some way of getting it.)
