The Laboratory of Psychology and Technology of the Universitat Jaume I (Labpsitec) offers a new free treatment through the Internet to overcome the phobia of flying from home without having to go to a psychology consultation. The treatment "Sin Miedo Airlines" is part of a research project and is completely self-applied and free of charge.

According to prevalence studies, "the rate of people who have phobia to fly is 2.5%; however, between 10-35% of the population manifests levels of anxiety important enough to avoid flying or do it with much discomfort" (Oakes & Boro, 2010).

"The objective of the programme, explains researcher Soledad Quero, is to help people who suffer from phobia to fly, and also those who need to use strategies to protect themselves from fear, such as resorting to alcohol or anxiolytic drugs. Self-implementation will expand the dissemination of the programme, thus reaching more people, because it is only necessary to be over 18 years, to have a mailing address and Internet connection to perform therapy. It also has an initial evaluation test to find out if it would be suitable for us.

The treatment "Sin Miedo Airlines" is based on repeated exposure to situations related to the conduct of a flight such as preparations, arrival at the airport and the take-off and landing of the plane. In addition, a sequence allows us to work on the anxiety generated by hearing about air accidents. All this without moving from home, through the Internet.

At the moment, as part of a research project approved by the UJI Deontological Commission, the treatment is free of charge. Anyone interested can send an email to [volar@uji.es](file:///C:\Users\lpascual\LOURDES\volar@uji.es) or call 964 387 643. Labpsitec will contact you for a short telephone interview. In this way, it will be possible to have access to the treatment programme that has an average duration between 3 and 4 weeks and up to a maximum of 6 weeks.

The treatment started by the Labpsitec of the UJI is part of the research thesis of Dr. Sonia Mor, directed by researchers Soledad Quero and Cristina Botella. The study follows the line of research initiated years ago by research groups from the Universitat de les Illes Balears (UIB), the Universitat Jaume I of Castelló (UJI) and the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) that have developed effective psychological treatments with the support of information and communication technologies and that, progressively, have transferred the application of these treatments from the traditional consultation of the therapist to the home of the people who want to receive them.
