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 that can be followed from home without having to go to a consultation of psychology. The treatment "SIN MIEDO Airlines" is part of a research project and is completely self-applied and free.

As Soledad Quero, head of the research explains, "The fear of flying is one of the phobias which has the highest presence in our society. About 25% of the adult population experiences some level of significant discomfort when taking a flight. Of these, 20% would fly, but for doing so, would use strategies to manage fear as the use of alcohol or tranquilizers; while 10% expressed clinical symptoms that fall under the phobia of flying. "  The aim of this treatment is to help people with the fear of flying to be able to deal with situations related to flying or stop using strategies to manage fear as drinking alcohol or using anxiolytic drugs.

The treatment "SIN MIEDO Airlines" is based on repeated exposure to situations related to taking a flight as preparations, the arrival at the airport and take-off and landing. Also, there is a sequence that can work the anxiety produced by hearing news about plane crashes. All without leaving home, via the Internet and through exposure to live images and sounds.

At present, as it is part of a research project, the treatment is free. All those people interested can send an email to [volar@uji.es](mailto:volar@uji.es) or call 964 387 644.Researchers at Labpsitec will contact you for a brief telephone interview. In this way, you will be given access to the treatment program that has an approximate average of 3 to 4 weeks and up to 6 weeks.

"SIN MIEDO Airlines" is an innovative project as it is the first treatment to use the Internet to treat fear of flying with a self-application method.

The treatment that Labpsitec of the UJI has launched is led by Professor Cristina Botella and is part of the thesis of Daniel Campos, directed and co-directed by the researchers Soledad Quero and Juana Breton, respectively. The study follows the line of investigation initiated years ago by research groups from the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB), Jaume I (UJI), and Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), that have developed effective psychological treatments based on the use of information and communications technologies and that gradually have moved the implementation of these treatments from the traditional therapist's office to the home of people who want to receive them.

You can find more information about the treatment on <http://www.fobiavolar.es/>
