Presentation subject

A Specific Phobia of Vomiting (SPOV) or emetophobia commonly develops in childhood with a mean duration of about 10 years before getting treatment. It occurs almost exclusively in women. It is one of the most common specific phobias that present to clinicians. People with a SPOV tend to be more handicapped than people with other specific phobias (for example they may avoid a desired pregnancy or being significantly underweight from restriction of food). Some people with emetophobia also have OCD. There is one RCT of CBT compared to a wait list. Newer developments are focussed on computerised CBT and use of virtual reality.

We know that right now we are all living through difficult times financially, and it’s for that reason we have chosen to make our conference free access this year. Whilst the conference is free access, the charity does still have to pay Zoom and Vimeo license fees which power our online conference, so if you are in a position to make a donation of any amount, we would be incredibly grateful. It is only through donations, and the participation of our supporters fundraising activities that OCD-UK can survive, so we remain incredibly grateful for your consideration.
