About the book

Joy Melville's aim in writing this book is twofold. First, she wishes to reassure phobics that they are not isolated in what they fear; second, she demonstrates how different phobias and obsessions (e.g. compulsive hand-washing) can be treated. She makes graphic use of many fascinating case histories that have been described to her both by psychologists and phobics themselves.
