I am a professor of psychology specializing in abnormal psychology. Additionally, I am a practicing psychotherapist. Over the years I realized the most frequently asked questions about psychiatric illness focused on anxiety. Specifically, anxiety associated with phobias. Practically everyone is afraid of something or someone. Whether it is spiders, bridges, schools, doctors, etc., most people seem to have one or more fears which impact their lives on some level. It was that realization that brought me to write The Phobia Quiz Book.
