Phobias: When Fear Becomes Irrational

By Maeve Losito

Book Overview

Fear is a natural human response that developed to help people survive, but it can be more of a hindrance than a help. A phobia is a fear of something that is not inherently harmful that interferes with a person's daily life. These fears are explained through up-to-date charts and annotated quotes from medical experts that augment the informative main text, which aims to help readers separate myth from fact regarding phobias. A list of organizations to contact gives young adults somewhere to turn in developing healthy coping mechanisms for their own phobias or those of their loved ones.
