Overview

This study investigated how having additional phobias or anxiety disorders affected the outcomes of a brief cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) program for specific phobias. The study found that having additional phobias did not affect the effectiveness of treatment for the targeted phobia, and that treating the specific phobia also significantly reduced symptoms of other phobias and anxiety disorders. This suggests that this brief therapy approach can have broader benefits. The study also discusses how these findings could impact treatment for both primary and related conditions.
