abstract = {This article is a review of the literature on efficacy and outcome studies using in virtuo exposure treatments to treat specific phobias. Thirty-nine studies were examined for this review: 56% were case studies or small sample studies, 13% were studies using larger samples, but no control or comparison condition, 13% used a comparison group (waiting list, placebo), 8% used a comparative treatment condition (usually in vivo expo- sure) and 13% used both. The specific phobias that were treated in these studies were acrophobia, aviophobia, claustrophobia, arachnophobia and fear of driving. The majority of these studies demonstrated that in virtuo exposure is effective and constitutes an interesting alternative to in vivo exposure. However, as the area is still taking its first steps, more studies with stronger methodological validity (control and comparative treatment conditions) are needed. © Virtual Reality Medical Institute.},
