Beginning with Freud's celebrated case of Little Hans,
psychoanalysts and psychotherapists have been intrigued with the
topic of fear. Eclipsed in theoretical writings by the term
'anxiety', fear remains a pervasive expression in day to day
clinical work. Patients constantly talk about it. One implores that
we cure him of his fear of dogs. Another offers the fear of
aloneness as the rationale of her staying in a bad marriage. Yet
another avoids all athletic activity due to the fear of physical
injury. And a fourth one lives in utter denial of passing time to
avoid facing his fear of death. Despite its ubiquitous presence,
fear has received little direct attention in psychoanalytic
literature. This book aims to fill this lacuna. It explicates
various intensities of fear, e.g. apprehension, dread, panic, and
terror. It delineates the boundaries between fear and anxiety and
demonstrates how phobic states constitute an admixture of these two
emotions.
