Abstract
The theorical frame proposed by behaviour principles seems to have an explanatory value in the genesis of some troubles of traumatic origin. This is the case for fear of flying which can appear suddenly in airline personnel following accidents, troubles or problems while flying and which could bring a definitive incapacity of flying. The use of behaviour therapy, like systematic desensibilisation, is then being considered. It is illustrated by examples taken from the literature and by two clinical cases.
