Despite the fact that methods of exposure therapy have proven to be highly effective in various empirical studies, they are still underused and sometimes subject to controversial discussion. There have been significant developments: In recent years, methods of exposure therapy have been applied in various areas of therapy, including body dysmorphic disorder and hypochondriasis. Exposure techniques also play an important role in the so called “third wave therapies” (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy). And there is more recently a revival of exposure in panic and agoraphobia and GAD. On the other hand, a large number of scientific articles discuss the practical applications (ethical aspects, amount of exposure) and the theoretical foundations (habituation) of exposure therapy. In order to provide an overview of the current debate and to point out the latest developments in the area of exposure therapy, we have decided to present the current state of discussion (most contributors are scientist-practitioners) to an interested professional audience.

Ernest is a young aardvark who lives in the burrows of the Old North Village and who always wears a big purple top hat. Every aardvark in the village can see Ernest from miles away thanks to his special, useful hat. It can be an umbrella in the rain, a stool at the bus stop, and a table to eat at when he’s hungry. Then one day, a big gust of wind comes and takes his hat right off his head. Ernest jumps and tries to catch it, but the hat is gone. After school, he looks everywhere and still can’t find his hat. What can he do? Ernest’s father takes him to see Mr. Wilson at the local hat shop—maybe he can help Ernest find a new hat that will be as special and as useful as his purple top hat. In this children’s story, a young aardvark loses his unique hat and must find a way to regain what he has lost.

The linking of age and ill-health is part of a cultural narrative of decline as age is often defined as the absence of good health. Research has shown that we are aged by culture, but we are also culturally made ill when we age. The cultural ambiguity of aging can thus deconstruct negative images of old age as physical decrepitude. This volume investigates the topic of health within the matrix of time and experience by addressing issues such as how our understanding of health influences our notion of agency within a subversive deconstruction of normative age concepts, and what role the notion of health plays in such an interaction.
