No, we're not talking about Erica Jong's famous feminist novel—we're talking about the real fear of flying here. And now there's a solution that doesn't involve mixing a few drinks at the airport bar with a handful of painkillers: the San Francisco-based Fear of Flying Clinic.

In your 24 hours of instruction you will meet with pilots, airline attendants, mechanics and air traffic controllers, who will explain all aspects of air safety, and a behavioral therapist, who can help you come up with strategies for coping with your anxiety. Check out their Web site for more information about the classes, and be sure to email us with your own suggestions on how to beat flight fears.
