Fear, the primary emotion directly related to survival, is a natural gift that we must perceive as an ally. But what happens when fear becomes pathological, and transforms into anxiety, panic, phobia, making a person's life a living hell? In this book, after presenting the different ways in which phobic disorder manifests itself and explaining the fundamental mechanisms, Giorgio Nardone proposes a series of cases drawn from his therapeutic experience, ranging from social phobias, fear of illness, monophobias and phobias without panic, to phobic delusions. Fear, managed as a resource, allows patients to perform feats, sometimes extraordinary, and to make the most of their personal resources, activated precisely thanks to the emotional mechanisms that set them in motion.
