document: Virtual reality treatment of flying phobia Flying phobia -LRB- FP -RRB- might become a very incapacitating and disturbing problem in a person 's social , working , and private areas . Psychological interventions based on exposure therapy have proved to be effective , but given the particular nature of this disorder they bear important limitations . Exposure therapy for FP might be excessively costly in terms of time , money , and efforts . Virtual reality -LRB- VR -RRB- overcomes these difficulties as different significant environments might be created , where the patient can interact with what he or she fears while in a totally safe and protected environment , the therapist 's consulting room . This paper intends , on one hand , to show the different scenarios designed by our team for the VR treatment of FP , and on the other , to present the first results supporting the effectiveness of this new tool for the treatment of FP in a multiple baseline study
