A concise, accessible guide to the world of irrational fears, this Pelican paperback explores different types of phobias, their causes, and their psychological impact. Written in clear, non-technical language, it draws on case examples and research to explain how phobias develop and how they can be understood or treated. Compact at just over 100 pages, it’s both an informative introduction for general readers and a snapshot of early ’80s thinking on anxiety and fear.
