“…The literature on the effectiveness of flooding techniques is more mixed than that of systematic desensitization, partly due to the confounding of flooding with implosive therapy, which involves imaginal exposure to extreme and unrealistic stimuli (Morganstern, 1973; Smith, Dickson, & Sheppard, 1973). Some studies have demonstrated the relative effectiveness of flooding over systematic desensitization (Boulougouris, Marks, & Marset, 1971; Marks, Boulougouris, & Marset, 1971; Marshall, Gauthier, Christie, Currie, & Gordon, 1977; see Smith, Dickson, & Sheppard, 1973 for a review), while others have reported mixed results and raised ethical concerns over the use of flooding in anxious clients (Morganstern, 1973). Concerns have also been raised about clients’ acceptability of flooding.…”

Exposure therapy has strong empirical support as a treatment for anxiety and related disorders, yet not all participants see clinically meaningful reduction in symptoms, and some experience return of fear. In this review, we examine the theoretical models of exposure therapy, from early precursors to the contemporary inhibitory learning model. The inhibitory learning model is applied to examine one potential method of improving outcomes in exposure therapy: increasing variability in the progression of the exposure hierarchy. We explore mechanisms that support the use of variability in exposure, including the violation of expectancies to enhance learning. In addition, the role of intolerance of uncertainty in anxiety is examined; variable exposure therapy could target this transdiagnostic mechanism in anxiety and related disorders. Suggestions for future research are then offered.

Virtual reality (VR) applications have been increasingly used in the clinical field. Its applications in psychotherapies is becoming widespread with researches. The use of VR in psychotherapy, specifically as an exposure therapy approach, is prominently used in the treatment of specific phobias, which is one of the most common clinical presentations. There is a substantial body of literature investigating the effectiveness of VR applications in the treatment of specific phobias. The purpose of this review is to introduce the virtual environment scenarios used in virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) applications for various specific phobias. Keywords: specific phobias, cognitive behavioral therapy, virtual reality applications
