Understanding Unreasonable Fear
Psychological
phobias are what most people think of when the term “phobia”
is mentioned; an intense and unreasonable fear, despite clear evidence that
such fear is not necessary. There are hundreds of different psychological
phobias that can appear in patients for different reasons. When a person has a
psychological phobia, they will often experience:
- Feelings of terror or dread
- Intense anxiety when near the object of the phobia
- Panic attacks
- Difficult in social situations (depending on the prevalence of the phobia)
It can be hard
to understand why a person with a psychological phobia is afraid or why they
act unreasonably, but that’s the nature of the phobia itself. If you or someone
you know has a psychological phobia, it can be very helpful to seek treatment
and to look for
therapy and counseling.
A psychological
phobia can be caused by a traumatic
experience, but no direct contact with the object of the phobia is
necessary. Many people will get arachnophobia, a fear of spiders, without ever
encountering a dangerous spider. Phobias usually begin as a person perceives
danger from a certain source. The person then amplifies that danger and begins
to obsess on the source of that danger.
There has been a
great deal of evidence to suggest that many phobias are caused by genetic
factors or by social pressures. A therapist will try to work with a patient with
psychological phobias to discover the reason for the condition, as
this is an essential step towards forming a treatment plan for persons with
phobias.

Psychology is the study of the mind, occurring partly via the study of behavior.Grounded in scientific method, psychology has the immediate goal of understanding individuals and groups by both establishing general principles and researching specific cases, and for many it ultimately aims to benefit society. In this field, a professional practitioner or researcher is called a psychologist, and can be classified as a social scientist, behavioral scientist, or cognitive scientist. Psychologists attempt to understand the role of mental functions in individual and social behavior, while also exploring the physiological and neurobiological processes that underlie certain cognitive functions and behaviors.
Psychologists explore such concepts as perception, cognition, attention, emotion, phenomenology, motivation, brain functioning, personality, behavior, and interpersonal relationships. Psychologists of diverse stripes also consider the unconscious mind.Psychologists employ empirical methods to infer causal and correlational relationships between psychosocial variables. In addition, or in opposition, to employing empirical and deductive methods, some—especially clinical and counseling psychologists—at times rely upon symbolic interpretation and other inductive techniques. Psychology incorporates research from the social and natural sciences, and from the humanities, such as philosophy.
While psychological knowledge is often applied to the assessment and treatment of mental health problems, it is also applied to understanding and solving problems in many different spheres of human activity. The majority of psychologists are involved in some kind of therapeutic role, practicing in clinical, counseling, or school settings. Many do scientific research on a wide range of topics related to mental processes and behavior, and typically work in university psychology departments or teach in other academic settings. Some are employed in industrial and organizational settings, or in other areas[8] such as human development and aging, sports, health, and the media, as well as in forensic analysis and other aspects of law.
