A comparison of treated and untreated simple phobia
Abstract
The authors compared 25 treated and 58 untreated subjects with simple phobia uncomplicated by other lifetime anxiety disorders. The treated individuals reported more phobias involving dogs and cats, elevators, and transportation; most had multiple phobias; and many experienced panic attacks in the context of their phobias. The untreated individuals typically reported only one phobia, which was often related to blood-injury and was seldom complicated by panic symptoms.
