| Abstract: | A small group of patients with a fear of vomiting were treated using an exposure method that allowed investigation of the processes underlying the elimination of their phobias. The within-session decrements were suggestive of habituation, while the between-session changes were marked by return of fear, which appeared to be related to stimulus-provoked depression. Feelings of fear and of nausea were not well correlated. |
