In this chapter, phobias will be discussed mainly as thought disorders which are closely related to the obsessional states. Phobic and obsessional phenomena will first be discussed independently before concentrating on the common features of both conditions. The metaphoric nature of obsessive-phobic communications will be explored with particular attention to the existence of faulty perception and distortions in communication. (51 pp.)
