Phobias

by Ronald M. Doctor and Ada P. Kahn

Everyone is afraid of something. Some fears are inherited, such as being separated from our parents. Others, such as being afraid of dogs, happen as a result of our own unique life experiences. Phobias helps put our fears into perspective, from identifying common fears to understanding unrealistic ones. It also includes a test you can take to learn more about your own responses to fearful situations. Find out how you can overcome your fears with the help of a few simple techniques. Book jacket.

Customer Reviews

Good read for young people

as a psychologist specialising in phobias, I found this book initially very disappointing. Then to my ignorance I discovered it had been written for young people e.g. adolescents. Taking this into account, I found it very useful and straight to the point. It would make a great resource for therapists treating young people. I also think it would be good for adults who don't want to read mountains of information, but instead want the facts and solutions quickly. It definately provides this. Each chapter is concise, and offers a variety of helpful solutions. If you are looking for an accademic based book to broaden you knowledge on phobias, then this isn't the book for you. However, if you want a quick read giving a simple though thorough review of phobias, then this book is a must. It would also be good for therapists who want to brush up on their knowledge about phobias. Anthony Gunn Psychologist & author of Fear Is Power: Turn Your Fears Into Success
