Improving the Efficacy of Exposure Therapy for the Treatment of Cockroach Phobia
Sponsor: Universitat Jaume I
Summary
The aim of this study is to test the efficacy and efficiency of the Projection-Based augmented reality therapy under two conditions: multiple stimuli (different types of cockroaches) (P-ARET MS) versus single stimulus (one cockroach) (P-ARET SS) for the treatment of participants diagnosed with cockroach phobia.

Interventions
Projection-based augmented reality therapy (P-ARET)
The intervention will be based on exposure therapy to cockroaches using P-ARET. The treatment will follow the guidelines of the "one-session treatment" (OST). Main components: Psychoeducation, Exposure to the feared object (cockroach), modeling (the therapist will interact with the phobic stimulus first and if possible, the patient will follow the same steps), cognitive challenge, and reinforcement and relapse prevention.
