  The problem of Coulomb breakup in the scattering of a two-body loosely bound
projectile by a heavy target is addressed. A basis of transformed harmonic
oscillator (THO) wave functions is used to discretize the projectile continuum
and to diagonalize the Hamiltonian of the two-body system. Results for the
reaction $^{8}$B+$^{58}$Ni at subcoulomb energies are presented. Comparison of
different observables with those obtained with the standard Continuum
Discretized Coupled-Channels (CDCC) method shows good agreement between both
approaches.
