Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Behavior therapy, specifically exposure therapy, has been found to be effective in treating specific phobias, including fear of flying. The individual is gradually exposed to the feared stimulus (in this case, flying) in a controlled environment, allowing them to gradually overcome their fear through repeated exposure. Gestalt and insight therapies are not typically used to treat specific phobias, and while cognitive therapy may be helpful in some cases, behavior therapy is generally the first line of treatment for specific phobias.
