“…This disorder leads to major difficulties in work, study, and social life, and often results in drug and alcohol addiction in an attempt to self-medicate (Craske, 1999; Ruscio et al, 2008). The combination of cognitive-behavior therapies (CBT) has been found to be the treatment of choice for phobias (Heimberg et al, 1998; Hope & Heimberg, 1993; Marks, 1990, 1999; Otto, 1999; Silverman, McCarthy, & McGovern, 1992). This combination is superior to other psychotherapeutic approaches, in the percentages of client improvement, degree of improvement, and long-term maintenance in follow-up (FU) studies.…”

Virtual Reality Cognitive-Behavior Therapy for Public Speaking Anxiety

2011

Public speaking anxiety (PSA) is a common social phobia. Although cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) is the treatment of choice, difficulties arise with both in vivo and in vitro exposure (lack of therapist control, patient's inability to imagine, self-flooding, and a lack of confidentiality resulting from public exposure). Virtual reality CBT (VRCBT) enables a high degree of therapist control, thus overcoming these difficulties. In a previous publication, the authors reported on their findings that VRCBT (n = 28) and CBT (n = 30) groups were significantly more effective than a wait-list control (WLC; n = 30) group in anxiety reduction on four of five anxiety measures as well as on participant's self-rating of anxiety during a behavioral task. No significant differences were found between VRCBT and CBT. However, twice as many clients dropped out of CBT (15) than from VRCBT (6). Results demonstrated that VRCBT is an effective and brief treatment regimen, equal to CBT. This brief report examined durability of these changes. They found that both VRCBT (25) and CBT (24) groups maintained their improvement from post treatment to follow-up, on all five measures. In addition, they found that the CBT group continued to improve from post treatment to follow-up on Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS) fear. Thus, treatment gains were maintained at a 1-year follow-up.

“…There is an impressive amount of research attesting to the effectiveness of REBT as an intervention (see e.g. Engels, Garnefsky, & Diekstra, 1993; Gonzalez, et al, 2004; Grawe, Donati, & Bernauer, 1994; Hajzler & Bernard, 1991; Lyons & Woods, 1991; Silverman, McCarthy, & McGovern, 1992; but see Gossette & O'Brien, 1992, for a more critical evaluation of REBT based interventions).…”

“…Moreover, findings obtained from the research on the effectiveness of REBT (Engels, Garnefski, & Diekstra, 1993;Lyons & Woods1991;Silverman, McCarthy, & McGovern, 1992;Oci, Hanson & Miller, 1993) evidenced that REBT was used in the treatment of many emotional and psychological disorders and yielded positive results. For example, Jacobs and Croake (1976) found that in group therapies in which REBT was applied, rational thinking increased and a series of psychological problems including anxiety decreased.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the Rational Emotional Behavioral Therapy Based Adjustment Training on the adjustment level of undergraduates. Participants involved 30 undergraduates from different cities of Turkey. The data were collected using University Life Scale. This quasi-experimental study was conducted as a psycho-educational group activity in the drama room of the university. The effectiveness of the psycho-education program was examined with experiment-control group, pre-test, post-test and follow-up measures and the program was organized as 12 sessions. Posttest and follow-up results showed that those in the experimental group had a higher adjustment score than the participants in the control group. The results of the research showed that Rational Emotional Behavioral Therapy Based Adjustment Training contributed to the adjustment of first-year students coming from different cities.
