phobias  

Définition

  • Phobias represent a part of the anxiety disorders spectrum in which the primary symptoms include physiological arousal, cognitive appraisal of impending harm, and avoidance of discrete stimuli and situations associated with the stimuli. Although there are numerous popular descriptors for phobias (i.e., arachnophobia for fear of spiders), the technical term in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) lists all phobias under the label of specific phobia.
