A 25-year-old woman with a specific phobia related to vaginal penetration fears was effectively treated with graduated exposure therapy involving self-conducted and partner-assisted homework exercises. Treatment produced a complete resolution of the problem within 12 sessions. This behavior therapy regimen followed the client having received several periods of psychodynamic therapy which did not yield symptomatic improvement.
