title: The management of patients in a phobia clinic.
abstract: Management of people in this phobia clinic is based on a theory that phobias result from misinterpretations of the effects of a natural process that generates fear in responses to imagined dangers as in a nightmare. With support, guidance, exposure, and information, phobic people learn in individual and group settings to confront, control, and understand their phobic experience.
