Despite its clinical significance, research on tomophobia remains limited, and best-practice interventions are not well established. This case study illustrates a promising Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach that incorporates interdisciplinary care and innovative exposure methods using virtual reality (VR).

Assessment and treatment were delivered over 12 preoperative sessions with one postoperative follow-up session. Engagement in treatment resulted in functional improvements, including willingness to undergo surgery, and clinically significant reductions in the validated Severity Measure for Specific Phobia (intake score = 25; final preoperative session score = 7; postoperative session score = 5).

Treatment topics included understanding the impacts of ADHD and its common comorbidities, coping skills for managing impulsivity, mood, organization, time, money, and interpersonal relationships. Quantitative data (N = 46) was analyzed in a pre-/posttreatment design using symptom measures of ADHD (ASRS), ADHD-related functional impairment (WFIRS), anxiety (GAD-7) and depression (PHQ-9). Results indicated that ADHD symptoms significantly decreased, with a small effect size, t(45) = –2.852, p = 0.003, d = 0.421. Five subscales of the WFIRS demonstrated significant improvements with medium effect sizes. The greatest functional improvements were seen in self-concept, t(44) = –3.858, p < 0.001, d = 0.575, and life skills, t(44) = –3.382, p < 0.001, d = 0.504.

LGBTQ-affirmative cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based treatment that has been shown to improve mental health among several LGBTQ+ populations, including YBLSMM in particular. One component of this treatment involves a discussion of the sexual minority stress model, providing insight into how YBLSMM experience sexual minority stress as part of their other intersectional identity-based stressors. This information is important to guide case conceptualization with diverse LGBTQ populations that face minority stress both due to their sexual identities and their racial or ethnic identities and therefore facilitate effective treatment outcomes and the development and improvement of existing interventions. Participants included 20 YBLSMM from a trial of LGBTQ-affirmative CBT. We transcribed sessions in which therapists and clients discussed the minority stress model underlying the treatment. Qualitative analysis suggested the following themes related to YBLSMM minority stress: (1) experiences of racism, racial/ethnic minority stress, or cultural stereotypes; (2) pressures to be masculine arising both from within and outside the SMM community; (3) conflict between religious upbringing and LGBTQ+ identity; (4) fears and anxieties related to aging within the LGBTQ community; (5) financial and socioeconomic stressors; and (6) stressors exclusive to sexual orientation. Findings revealed that YBLSMM often drew upon aspects of their identities, other than or in conjunction with their sexual minority identity, in terms of how the minority stress model applies to their lives. Findings suggest that LGBTQ-affirmative CBT may be beneficial to YBLSMM not just through addressing sexual minority stress but also through addressing stress linked to other aspects of YBLSMM’s identities, emphasizing the importance of practitioners comprehensively addressing these multifaceted stressors and incorporating them into case conceptualization when providing cognitive and behavioral therapy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51511,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive and Behavioral Practice","volume":"33 3","pages":"Pages 488-504"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148647422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
