This article provides an excellent overview of compatible-pair participation in KPD and also highlights specific factors that encourage and/or discourage the compatible pair from participating in KPD.

If KPD is going to become widely utilized, it will need to be combined with desensitization. Montgomery eloquently describes conundrums and situations in which KPD should be combined with desensitization.
