BackgroundLong-term follow-up has rarely been reported after self-exposure therapy for phobias.AimsCompletion of such a follow-up.MethodTwo-year follow-up was achieved in 68 (85%) of 80 patients with phobias who had completed a previous 14-week randomised controlled trial comparing therapist-accompanied self-exposure, self-exposure or self-relaxation. Measures were self-reported ratings of symptoms, satisfaction and use of other treatment.ResultsImprovement at week 14 was maintained 2 years later. Clinician-accompanied exposure and self-exposure did not differ on any measure. Compliance with self-exposure homework during weeks 0–8 predicted more improvement 2 years later. Patients who failed to improve with relaxation by week 14 improved after subsequent crossover to exposure. A need for more treatment for their phobias was still felt by 33 patients (49%).ConclusionsPatients with phobias maintained their improvement to 2-year follow-up after the end of self-exposure therapy.
