Produktdetaljer
First published in 1925, this forward-thinking volume examined states of anxiety, their causes and their possible cures. Based on physicians’ reports of their patients, the author aimed to expand beyond purely obsessive dreads to understanding fear in both its determinants and its mechanisms, with the view that pathological timidity is only brought on through learned fear and environmental influences rather than from birth.
