What are the types and possiblecauses of phobic disorder?
What will be an ideal response?
The answer should identify and give examples of the three major types of phobic
disorder: agoraphobia, social phobia, and specific phobia. In discussing the causes, the answer
should emphasize that most clinicians support a classical conditioning view of phobias and
distinguish between direct and vicarious conditioning. A strong answer will describe research by
Öhman and colleagues suggesting that phobias have an evolutionary basis.
