Abstract

Cynophobia is a form of specific phobia characterized by an excessive fear of dogs that may interfere with an individual's daily functioning. Exposure therapy is one of the most effective interventions for treating specific phobias. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of exposure therapy in reducing anxiety in an individual with cynophobia and to understand the psychological changes experienced by the participant from the perspective of Stanislav Grof's transpersonal psychology. This study employed a qualitative approach using a case study design involving one participant diagnosed with cynophobia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, documentation, and the Subjective Units of Distress Scale (SUDS) administered before and after the intervention. The findings showed that exposure therapy effectively reduced the participant's anxiety level, as indicated by a decrease in the SUDS score from 7 (high distress) before the intervention to 2 (mild distress) afterward. In addition to reduced fear and avoidance behavior, the participant demonstrated changes in the way the traumatic experience underlying cynophobia was interpreted. From the perspective of Stanislav Grof's transpersonal psychology, these changes were reflected in increased awareness that not all dogs are threatening, the development of a more adaptive understanding of the feared object, and greater readiness to face situations that had previously been avoided. These findings suggest that the effectiveness of exposure therapy is reflected not only in the reduction of cynophobia symptoms but also in changes in awareness and the reinterpretation of traumatic experiences throughout the recovery process.

Abstract

Parenting plays an important role in shaping parent-child relationships, particularly as families face social change and the growing presence of digital technology in everyday life. Parents need to build warm relationships while maintaining clear rules and boundaries. This community service program aimed to improve the knowledge of women members of the Family Welfare Movement in Kajar Village regarding positive parenting, respectful communication, nonviolent discipline, consistent rules, and guidance for children's social and digital activities. The program was conducted on July 31, 2026, at Kajar Village Hall and involved 18 participants aged 30-50 years. Participatory education was delivered through presentations, examples of family situations, quizzes, discussions, questions and answers, and reflection on parenting experiences. Participants' knowledge was measured using a pretest and posttest, and the scores were analyzed descriptively and with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The mean score increased from 7.72 at pretest to 9.44 at posttest. Sixteen participants improved and two maintained the same score. The Wilcoxon test showed a difference between scores before and after the program (W = 0; p < 0.001). These findings indicate a short-term improvement in participants' knowledge. Since the posttest was administered immediately after the activity, the results cannot yet be used to assess changes in parenting practices at home. Follow-up activities should monitor the application of the material and evaluate participants several weeks after the educational session.
