“…Second, 5 patients gave up the IRCAE treatment, 4 during the information-relaxation phase, but no one gave up in the CAE treatment group. This is highly relevant from a clinical point of view and is consistent with other findings: Although patients do not fail to complete simulated exposure treatments (e.g., Mühlberger et al, 2001), significant dropout rates are not rare in long multicomponent methods of treatment or in relaxation training (e.g., Beckham et al, 1990;Denholtz & Mann, 1975). Last, only half of those who began the IRCAE treatment took the actual flight.…”

“…In Howard, Murphy, and Clarke's (1983) controlled study, relaxation treatment was equally effective as systematic desensitization, flooding, and implosion. In contrast, Denholtz and Mann (1975) found systematic desensitization to flight pictures to be more effective than either relaxation alone or exposure to flight film without relaxation. Moreover, in several controlled trials using relaxation as part of cognitive-behavioral treatments (Beckham, Vrana, May, Gustafson, & Smith, 1990;Capafóns, Avero, Sosa, & López-Curbelo, 1999;Capafóns, Sosa, & Avero, 1997;Girodo & Roehl, 1978;Haug et al, 1987), these treatments were more effective than the control conditions.…”

“…These difficulties led researchers to attempt to simulate flight situations that cause fear in a way that is both realistic and vivid. Simulated exposures were first tried in the 1970s, using slide projectors, with promising results (Denholtz & Mann, 1975;Solyom, Shugar, Bryntwick, & Solyom, 1973). However, few studies were undertaken over the next 15 years to continue investigations into simulated exposures for the treatment of flight phobia.…”

259This study examines the efficacy of computer-assisted exposure (CAE) treatment in helping to overcome flight phobia and analyzes the role of relaxation and information-related components in the reduction of fear. Fifty flight phobics were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 methods of treatment: (a) CAE; (b) a multicomponent method of treatment of information, relaxation, and CAE (IRCAE); and (c) waiting list control treatment. At the end of the treatment, an actual flight was chartered. The results showed that the first 2 methods of treatments were more effective than the waiting list control treatment. The CAE group showed the greatest reduction in fear. According to data from the IRCAE group, no reduction in flight phobia was observed after the information-relaxation phase. Follow-up data showed that improvements in anxiety self-assessment rates remained constant.Despite the high clinical frequency of flight phobia and its personal and financial repercussions (Wilhelm & Roth, 1997; Van Gerwen, Spinhoven, Diekstra, & Van Dyck, 1997), well-structured treatment programs and controlled studies to evaluate the effects of such programs are scarce, especially when compared with other phobias, although systematic research on the topic has begun to increase.One method of reducing fear of flying that has been most commonly used over the last 30 years is a combination of relaxation techniques and the provision of aeronautical data. Despite its extensive use, the real effectiveness of relaxation training still remains unclear. In Howard, Murphy, and Clarke's (1983) controlled study, relaxation treatment was equally effective as systematic desensitization, flooding, and implosion. In contrast, Denholtz and Mann (1975) found systematic desensitization to flight pictures to be more effective than either relaxation alone or exposure to flight film without relaxation.

Virtual reality (VR) applications have been increasingly used in the clinical field. Its applications in psychotherapies is becoming widespread with researches. The use of VR in psychotherapy, specifically as an exposure therapy approach, is prominently used in the treatment of specific phobias, which is one of the most common clinical presentations. There is a substantial body of literature investigating the effectiveness of VR applications in the treatment of specific phobias. The purpose of this review is to introduce the virtual environment scenarios used in virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) applications for various specific phobias. Keywords: specific phobias, cognitive behavioral therapy, virtual reality applications

“…A variety of CBT methods (e.g. systematic desensitization, flooding, implosion, and relaxation) has been found to yield reductions in flying anxiety after treatment (Beckham, Vrana, May, Gustafson, & Smith, 1990;Denholtz & Mann, 1975;Haug et al, 1987;Howard, Murphy, & Clarke, 1983;Ost, Brandberg, & Alm, 1997;Solyom, Shugar, Bryntwick, & Solyom, 1973;Van Gerwen, Diekstrra, Arondeus, & Wolfger, 2004). In general, these studies utilized cognitive behavioral approaches to treatment, incorporating a combination of psychoeducation, cognitive restructuring, and some form of exposure.…”

Although there is evidence that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is effective in the treatment for fear of flying (FOF), there are no studies that specifically examine which skills taught in treatment are being used by clients after treatment is completed. This study examines whether participants report using skills taught in treatment for FOF after treatment is completed and whether the reported use of these skills is associated with reduced flying anxiety in the face of fear-relevant event, the September 11th terrorist attacks, and over the long-term. One hundred fifteen participants were randomly assigned to and completed eight sessions of individual CBT treatment for FOF. Fifty-five participants were reassessed in June 2002, an average of 2.3 years after treatment. Surveys were also collected from 33 individuals who did not receive treatment for FOF. Results indicated that treatment completers were more likely to report using skills taught in treatment than individuals who had not received treatment. In addition, self-reported use of skills among previously treated individuals was associated with lower levels of flying anxiety. These findings suggest that use of skills taught in CBT treatment is associated with reduced flying anxiety in the face of a fear-relevant event and over the long term.
