Abstract

The authors discuss fear from the theoretical and clinical aspects of psychiatry. In an attempt to understand the phenomenon of pathological fear, contemporary theories and experience are taken into account, differentiating such fear from that having a basis in reality. Anxiety signals are discussed which stimulate the ego to mobilize defense in dangerous situations. The significance of fear arising from the super ego (from the conscience) is discussed separately. An elaboration is presented on real and existential fear.
Fear as a source of suffering is examined in the clinical context, with particular attention to disorders and psychiatric disturbances in which fear is the dominant symptom (especially in anxiety and phobic neuroses). Several therapeutic approaches are mentioned.
