The Laboratory of Psychology and Technology (LabPsiTec) of the Universitat Jaume I of Castellón offers free psychological therapy for the treatment of cockroach phobia, within the framework of the actions developed in the MAXP-TERA project funded by the 2018 R+D+i state programme of the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities of the Government of Spain.

The main objective of this project is to investigate the effectiveness and efficiency of a new augmented reality system based on projection to overcome cockroach phobia. The treatment is carried out on a face-to-face basis at the public university of Castellón and in order to participate it is necessary to carry out a specific evaluation where it is checked that the interested persons fulfil the required inclusion criteria.

The procedure includes the components that have proven to be most effective in the treatment of small animal phobia, such as information about anxiety, fear and phobic responses, explanation about the cause and maintenance of phobic behaviours and gradual exposure with support from the therapist to the feared stimulus. The treatment will be carried out in a single session of a maximum duration of three hours.

The project "Maximising the effectiveness and feasibility of exposure therapy using projection-based augmented reality for the treatment of cockroach phobia" (MAXP-TERA - RTI2018-100993-B-100) includes the writing of two doctoral theses, developed by Jorge Grimaldos García and María Palau Batet, both co-directed by researchers Soledad Quero Castellano and Juana María Bretón López, full lecturers at the Universitat Jaume I and responsible for this project.

Given that the project is funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation and currently already has the approval of the UJI's Deontological Commission, the treatment will be offered free of charge without any economic cost for those who participate. The project is currently underway, so anyone interested in participating can send an email to fobiacucarachas.uji@gmail.com or call 964 387 645.
