Group Exposure (Flooding) in vivo for Agoraphobics

Abstract
Twenty-five out-patients with chronic agoraphobia were treated in six groups of 4-5 patients each, the first four groups by two therapists, the last two groups by one therapist. Each patient had 12 hours of exposure (flooding) in vivo, spread over three days of one week, for four continuous hours a day interrupted midway by a half-hour lunch break.
