This volume in the seminal Encyclopaedia of Psychoanalysis Series
is a daring reassessment of the psychoanalytic theory of phobia
from numerous schools of thought. This book should illuminate why
psychoanalysis has been under-used in the treatment of phobia - is
it simply that other treatments are more successful or is it a
symptom of today's "quick fix" culture? By considering the origins
and meanings of phobia from such a wide range of viewpoints, it may
be possible to formulate new approaches to the therapeutic
treatment of phobia and re-engage the interests of the
psychoanalytic community in this fascinating subject. 'In recent
years research, theorization, and the treatment of phobias have
been dominated by biological and psychopharmacological approaches,
and by cognitive-behavioural therapies. Writings on phobia have
diminished in the field of psychoanalysis. This book is an attempt
to redress the balance and focuses not on treatment but on the
origin and meaning of phobia. This collection, then, concentrates
on the personal, mythological and cultural meanings of phobia and
its origins' - The author from her Introduction.
