The goal of the chapter was to review the different therapeutic techniques used in the treatment of various forms of phobias, with particular emphasis on virtual reality treatment. We define different types of phobias, including social ones. We also describe treatment techniques – adopted from behavioral therapy – which have been developed to aid the treatment of phobias. Particular emphasis has been placed on the flooding, implosive therapy and systematic desensitization. We review the results of virtual reality treatment, which show that one of the most effective and most emotionally engaging techniques is that known as Cave Automatic Virtual Environment CAVE – literally a room which one enters and is automatically completely immersed in a virtual reality. In this context, a description of the possibilities on offer at the Immersive 3D Visualization Lab built on the premise of Gdańsk University of Technology, is a substantial and significant part of the chapter. The laboratory, which, unlike any other such laboratory in the world, features a spherical walk simulator, offers people the possibility to move around the CAVE while they are completely immersed in 3D virtual reality. We also present a few applications which make use of virtual reality and have been developed to serve as therapeutic tools in the treatment of phobias. Thus, our chapter combines a narrative review of the literature with a detailed description and discussion of the technical and practical issues in applying CAVE in the treatment of phobias.
