Abstract
Two spider phobic children were first given a computerized exposure tr eatment, and then received exposure in vivo. The cases provided no evi dence for the effectiveness of the computerized exposure treatment. Ex posure in vivo was found to be very successful, resulting in substanti al reduction of self-reported spider fear and clear improvement on the behavioral avoidance test.
