A patient with a 24-year history of blood-illness-injury phobia associated with bradycardia and syncope was treated behaviorally. He was taught to prevent bradycardia and resulting syncope occurring in the presence of phobic stimuli by provoking anger in himself using appropriate imagery. Within a few weeks, the patient was able to use the procedure successfully to prevent syncope in everyday situations. At 6 months follow-up he remained comfortable in the presence of previously phobic stimuli and he no longer needed to use self-induced anger to prevent syncopal episodes.
一名患有与心动过缓和晕厥相关的血液疾病损伤恐惧症达24年之久的患者接受了行为治疗。他学会了通过运用适当的意象激发自身愤怒情绪，以预防在恐惧刺激出现时发生心动过缓和由此引发的晕厥。几周内，患者就能成功运用该方法在日常情况下预防晕厥。在6个月的随访中，面对先前引发恐惧的刺激时他仍感觉良好，且不再需要借助自我诱发的愤怒情绪来预防晕厥发作。
