Obsessional fears, commonly known as phobias, are widespread and deeply rooted. Hippocrates thought they were caused by an excess of black bile, medieval theologians blamed evil spirits, and Freud thought they resulted from suppressed sexual desire. Through the ages, as many as four out of every ten people are estimated to have had some kind of phobia, but only recently have scientists and doctors made an effort to analyze, define, and offer possible cures. Drawing on vivid examples from history, literature, and personal testimonies, Phobias is the first book to describe case histories, assess the theories ancient and contemporary, and seek to answer all the questions about one of mankind's oldest medical mysteries.
