  • Published:

Samenvatting

Een slikfobie is de angst om je tijdens het eten van voedsel te verslikken en te stikken. Dit heeft grote gevolgen voor de voedselinname van patiënten, die bovendien in hun sociale leven ernstige beperkingen ondervinden. Uit casuïstieke mededelingen over de behandeling van de klacht blijkt dat gedragstherapie een rol kan spelen in de behandeling. Die bestaat uit exposure en cognitieve interventies. Ter illustratie van behandelingsmogelijkheden worden in dit artikel drie patiënten gedetailleerd beschreven.

Abstract

Choking phobia is the fear to choke and suffocate while eating. This endangers the food-intake of patients and negatively affects their social life. A number of cases are described in the literature. Behavioural therapy provides good possibilities for treatment. Intervention techniques, such as exposure and cognitive therapy are used. As an illustration of treatment possibilities, the cases of three patients are described in detail in this article.
