Background: The current literature on the specific phobia of urinary incontinence is limited, with no specific empirically established model or treatment protocol.
Aims: This article consists of a case study of formulation-driven cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) for phobia of urinary incontinence.
Method: Martin attended a total of 12 treatment sessions. The treatment included the development of an idiosyncratic formulation, and the use of well-established cognitive and behavioural treatment strategies from other anxiety disorders.
Results: Both outcome measures and Martin's subjective report indicate that the treatment was effective.
Conclusion: This case study contributes to the current limited literature on this phobia, and emphasises the importance of formulation-driven CBT to map for idiosyncratic features and target cognitive and behavioural factors.
Keywords: CBT; behavioural experiments; empirically grounded interventions; urinary incontinence.
