The computer is in: Game helps fight phobias

[Barb-SAN]

Just saw this article on MSNBC: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21135372/

What do you think? Would you be interested in treating FF via a computer program like this if it were available? I wonder if the folks who designed that program will eventually make it available to anyone who wants it, and not just to designated patients in Britain?

Here's the fearfighter website, for more information. http://www.fearfighter.com/index.htm Maybe one of our TF members in the U.K. could check it out?

Sounds like the game could be a help in teaching and reinforcing coping skills but I don't think it would be a total substitute for therapy since one of the main attractions (or benefits) of therapy is the one on one attention the patient gets from the therapist.
