Φοβίες και πως να τις ξεπεράσετε
More than half of all Americans suffer from one or more phobias at some time during their lives. This book draws upon the extraordinary wealth of current scientific and clinical research on phobias, including Dr. Gardner's own experiences with patients, to answer six pressing questions for anyone who suffers from phobias and for the friends and relatives of such sufferers:
* What is a phobia? What are its typical symptoms? How do I know if I have a phobia?
* What causes phobias? Are they inherited or learned?
* Who is vulnerable to phobias? Do phobias indicate mental illness?
* How can phobias be diagnosed, managed, and overcome? What therapies have proven most successful in treating phobias?
* What can I learn about my specific phobia? Does it have a name? Do others suffer from it?
* What resources are available to help me overcome my phobias or help a friend with phobias?
This book is a hands-on guide to recovery from the bondage of phobias. Although the authors certainly do not claim that this material will cure all phobias, they are confident that the inquiries, guidelines, and checklists contained here will guide readers toward the help they need in understanding and overcoming phobias.

Good book. I'm a recovering agoraphobic, so it was nice to get some supportive words in this book, and see I'm not the only one thinking the way I think.

A Practical guide about phobias!!
April 30, 2013
I enjoyed the in depth discussion of the different factors that may drive phobias, and the different ideas of how they might be treated. Not so much practical information about how to deal with a minor phobia on your own, but I found the insights helpful and enlightening.
