Chapter 20.Specific Phobia
Sections
Excerpt
DSM-5 (American Psychiatric Association 2013) recognizes four subtypes of specific phobia, including animal (e.g., dogs, cats, cockroaches, snakes), natural environment (e.g., heights, water, storms), blood-injection-injury (e.g., injections, blood tests), and situational (e.g., enclosed spaces, driving, airplanes). A fifth category, “other,” includes such phobias as fear of choking or vomiting that do not fit into one of the four categories (see Box 20- for DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for specific phobia).
