Exploration of phobic behavior in a small child.
Behavioral assessment is an area receiving ever increasing attention. In the present manuscript an attempt is made to expand the ways in which one problem area frequently addressed by behavior therapists, phobias, is assessed and evaluated. A number of overt behaviors and self reports of fear by a very young girl are described in a naturalistic setting and the implications of these data are presented.
