Cognitive Therapy in a Case of Choking Phobia
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 June 2009
Extract
A 68-year old female with a phobia of choking on fluids was treated first with exposure in vivo and then with cognitive therapy. The exposure increased her water drinking to some extent, but the cognitive change was negligible. However, the cognitive therapy led to a dramatic change in the catastrophical misinterpretations and a fourfold increase in her water consumption. The effects of treatment were maintained at a 1-year follow-up.
