[QUOTE="Bluemoon, post: 382184"] I don't get their approach at all either. The only possible explaination I can come up with is not the one they state. With a phobia, a regular phobia anyway, the treatment is to be forced to confront it, to face (or do) the thing that causes the irrational fear and become more comfortable and unafraid of it. I can see where that could work with food phobia to a point, but I don't see where punishment fits into the plan. I would also think they would start out with easy to swallow foods like soups and other less solid things. However, those are just my thoughts and I really don't know squat about food phobia....but I am thinking the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) makes it alot worse and harder to overcome. In fact, couldn't it be the cause? [/QUOTE]
