Editorial Review:
Facing Fears: The Sourcebook of Phobias, Fears, and Anxieties is an accessible, essential reference that provides all the basic information readers need to understand the most common fears and phobias. It begins with the necessary terminology and takes readers through self-help possibilities, offering three steps for overcoming irrational fears: identify fears through a process of self-diagnosis; pinpoint what triggers those fears; and develop an individualized exposure program. Among the topics covered are: specific phobias, such as fear of dental procedures (dentophobia), fear of public speaking (glossophobia), and fear of heights (altophobia); forms of therapy; historical aspects of phobias; and outstanding workers in this field. An A-to-Z reference section provides information on specific phobias, disorders, and treatments. Also included is a reading list of helpful resources and information on specific topics
