Self-control desensitization with cue-controlled relaxation for treatment of a conditioned vomiting response to air travel.
A 33 yr old female with a flying phobia which involved frequent conditioned vomiting and fainting was successfully treated by a combination of self-control desensitization and cue-controlled relaxation. A 12 and 18 month follow-up indicated that treatment effects were maintained. Implications are discussed of this procedure for the treatment of conditioned nausea and vomiting resulting from cancer chemotherapy.
