December 19th 2008 05:43
After several centuries of research and study by many experts in the field of phobias, it has finally led to several new developments and those interesting facts about phobias are:
• There are diagnostic criteria for three clinical categories of phobia.
• The various categories of phobia and individual phobias have different causes and reasons for their development, in either aetiology or aetiological mechanism!
• Cognitive factors have to be known playing the important role in the development and continuance of phobias!
• Phobias are not totally unconscious, as in some cases, and to differing extents, it will reinforce by a person’s perceptions and beliefs about the surrounding environment and the phobia stimulus.
• Recognition of the interplay of different mechanisms and cognitive factors in the development of phobias has challenged earlier and more simplistic theories about their origins!
• More helpful specific treatment programmes has been provided to individual that needs and have proved to be highly successful in most cases.
The recent developments are still in progression and hopefully, there will be more new facts to be discovered in the near future…
