For Rita, her bird phobia had led to severe avoidance behaviour, affecting many aspects of her life and relationships. As a result she felt very depressed. This programme follows her successful treatment at the Cardinal Clinic using behavioural psychological techniques.
The DVD version provides additional information about why she became phobic and how it affected her life.
