"Phobias are increasingly common amongst the general population, sometimes resulting in a very significant social disability and burden for the family. Most cases remain undiagnosed, and many of those which are diagnosed are treated inappropriately. Written by internationally renowned psychiatrist, Mario Maj, this book provides an update of research evidence and clinical experience concerning agoraphobia, social phobia and specific phobias. "
