  text: Pairing procedures are among the most frequently used paradigms for modifying
    evaluations of target stimuli related to oneself, an object, or a specific situation
    due to their repeated pairing with evaluative sources, such as positive or negative
    images or words. Because altered patterns of evaluations can be linked to the
    emergence and maintenance of disordered cognitions and behaviors, it has been
    suggested that pairing procedures may provide a simple yet effective means of
    complementing more complex intervention approaches, such as cognitive behavioral
    therapy (CBT). Here, we summarize recent studies that explored the clinical potential
    of pairing procedures for improving self-esteem, body satisfaction, and food and
    consumption preferences. While no study has yet combined pairing procedures with
    CBT, there are several successful examples of pairing procedures in clinically
    relevant domains and clinical populations. We discuss potential sources of heterogeneity
    among findings, provide methodological recommendations, and conclude that pairing
    procedures may bear clinical potential as an add-on to classical psychotherapy.
