Food neophobia is a specific phobia of trying new foods. Its treatment in adults has been rarely described. The only paper that related a therapeutic intervention for food neophobia in adults reported a time-consuming effort for both clients and several staff involved. This paper provides a case example of using solution focused brief therapy questioning techniques to facilitate the process of change in a young adult with this diagnosis. It aims to explain how solution focused techniques can be used and in what way those techniques differ from more traditional cognitive-behavioural therapy approaches.
