Space phobia is a well defined rare syndrome, similar but distinct from agoraphobia. Its key distinguishing feature is fear of absent visuospatial support (open spaces) and of falling. In the past, this condition has generally been considered resistant to treatment by exposure in vivo. We report a case of a woman suffering from severe space phobia who received a cognitive-behavioural based treatment package. The gains that she made are described, but overall her condition remained relatively resistant to therapy. We suggest that a degree of caution regarding outcome goals at the start of any similar treatment of this rare disorder is wise.

Tinnitus is a symptom of ear disease that may cause psychological distress. We report here on the successful treatment of stress-related tinnitus in a patient with otosclerosis (an ear disease). The patient experienced stress-induced attacks during which tinnitus became unbearable. A cognitive-behavioural treatment programme of 10 sessions was given during two weeks. Results assessed at pre-and post-treatment showed decreased annoyance and increased coping with tinnitus. The attacks became less frequent and easier to handle. The results support the application of cognitive-behavioural treatment in cases with difficult tinnitus.

Our confidence in being able to offer successful treatment of paedophilia remains low. A multifaceted cognitive/behavioural treatment approach is described in the hitherto successful treatment of a man with a 13-year history of sexually interfering with young children of both sexes.

AbstractThis article describes the application of cognitive behavioural therapy to three sexually abused young people. We emphasise developmental influences and the nuances of the therapeutic approach. An exposure-based treatment approach was used with the youths. A multimodal assessment evaluation was conducted at pretreatment and posttreatment, and at a 3-month follow-up. Results on outcome measures indicated a positive therapeutic effect for the youths.

This case report describes the successful treatment of a five year-old girl with phobic reactions to thunderstorms. Treatment consisted of six components: self-statements; positive reinforcement; peer modelling; exposure to a videotape of a weather report and exposure to an audiotape of storms; and, exposure to a school weather project. Ratings of the girl's behaviour were provided independently by the girl's mother and her teacher at pre- and post-treatment, and at a seven and twelve month follow-up. These ratings showed a decrease in fear behaviour at the end of treatment, and this decrease was maintained over the follow-up period.

Two cases involving the cognitive-behavioural treatment of hallucinations are described. In both cases, a focusing strategy was used with a view to enabling patients to reattribute the nature and meaning of their experiences. One patient showed a marked reduction in the frequency and content of his voices. The second patient showed little change. The implications of observations made during therapy for the future development of cognitive-behavioural strategies for use with psychotic patients are discussed.
