“…Patients in both conditions received the same manualized treatment content of 12 treatment sessions (100 min each) plus two booster sessions 2 and 4 months after session 12 (Heinig et al, 2017). For all patients, Sessions 1-4 included psychoeducation, functionalbehavioral analysis, identification of central threat beliefs and maladaptive anxiety control strategies (e.g., avoidance or safety behavior), and development of a disorder model and exposure rationale, accounting for differences in etiological pathways (Hamm, 2006;Lang et al, 2012;Stangier et al, 2003). The exposure rationale was explicitly based on the concept of prediction error learning, that is, on identifying and disconfirming patients' central threat beliefs (Craske et al, 2014;Pittig et al, 2016).…”

“…As displayed in Table 2, all experimental groups were comparable in age, BMI, and their scores on the BDI-II and the STAI-T before exposure (all main and interaction effects, F (1,44) <1.66, p>.2). Most importantly, groups displayed no pre-treatment differences in the spider-and cockroach-fear related questionnaires (all main and interaction effects: 34, p>.13) as well as in subjective fear at the initial approach distance to the spider and the cockroach during the pre-treatment BAT (all main and interaction effects: F (1,44) <1.07, p>.3) However, as indicated by a significant main effect for OC (all F (1,44) >12.01, all p=.001; all other effects: p>.52), we found that OC women showed less approach behavior during the pre-treatment BAT with the spider (M=4.79, SD=1.40) and the cockroach (M=5.00, SD=1.92) relative to FC women (spider: M=6.69, SD=2.04; cockroach: M=7.17, SD=2.07).…”

“…Different aspects related to the fear of spiders and cockroaches were assessed by using a set of questionnaires. We used (1) the German version of the Fear of Spiders Questionnaire (FSQ; [33]) which includes 18 items that are scored on a 7-point Likert scale, (2) the Spider Phobia Questionnaire (SPQ; [34]) which comprises 31 dichotomously coded (i.e., true vs. false) items, and (3) the Spider Beliefs Questionnaire (SBQ; [35]) which measures dysfunctional beliefs on 48 items according to a scale from 0 (-not at all‖) to 100 (-completely‖). For fear of cockroaches, the Fear of Cockroaches Questionnaire (FCQ; [36]), which is an exact adaptation of the FSQ but only relating to cockroaches, and a modified version of the SBQ to reflect beliefs about cockroaches (see [37]) were applied.…”

The administration of glucocorticoids (GC) as an adjunct to exposure might represent a promising strategy to improve exposure therapy outcome in anxiety disorders (AD). The beneficial effects, however, might be sex-dependent and/or further modulated by hormonal factors (e.g., contraceptive usage in women). In the present study, we investigated whether acute stress before exposure therapy affects its efficacy in women using oral contraceptives (OC) relative to free-cycling (FC) women. In addition, possible effects of stress on generalization of therapy effects towards untreated stimuli were examined. Women with fears of spiders and cockroaches were randomly assigned to a stress (n=24) or no-stress (n=24) group prior to a standardized one-session exposure. Acute stress did not influence exposure-induced reduction in fear and avoidance of the treated stimuli (spiders). However, stress led to a less pronounced beneficial exposure outcome for treated stimuli in OC women relative to FC women. This effect occurred on the level of subjective fear and self-report questionnaires at post-treatment (24 hours after exposure) and follow-up (4 weeks after exposure). No effects of stress on generalization of therapy effects towards untreated stimuli (cockroaches) were found. Our findings suggest that OC usage diminishes the beneficial effects of stress on exposure therapy outcome seen in FC women. We present first clinical findings regarding the interaction of stress (and possibly GCs) and OC in exposure therapy of AD. OC intake in women constitutes a crucial factor to be considered in augmentation studies using stress and GCs.
