VI. Reading ComprehensionMost psychologists assign phobias to one of three broadcategories: social phobias, in which the sufferer feels paralyzingfear of human encounters; agoraphobia with panic disorders, inwhich the person is periodically blindsided by overwhelmingfear for no apparent reason; and specific phobias—fear of snakes,enclosed spaces, heights and the like.Specific phobias are the easiest to treat, partly because theyare the easiest to understand. As many as 30 percent of allpeople suffering from a specific phobia have at least one phobicclose relative. For others, a childhood trauma—a house fire, say,or a dog bite—may trigger incipient fears.Social phobias can be trickier. For some, the fear of a socialencounter may occur only at large parties, making avoidancestrategies seem easy. But social phobias can encroach into moreand more areas of life, closing more and more doors. Assufferers grow increasingly isolated, they become ever morehopeless and risk developing such conditions as depression andalcoholism.Unlike the specific phobic and the social phobic, the victimof panic disorder rarely knows where or when one will hit.Someone who experiences an attack in, say, a supermarket willoften not return there, associating the once neutral place with thetraumatic event. And when this begins to happen, panic disordermutates into full-blown agoraphobia. As the perceived circle ofsafety shrinks, sufferers may be confined entirely to their homes.
