Eliza is very afraid of spiders. She wants to become a Girl Scout, but is too worried that she might see a spider on a camping trip to participate. In fact, she doesn’t even want to walk home from school for fear of seeing a spider; she makes her mom come pick her up instead. In what ways is Eliza demonstrating the criteria for specific phobia?
What will be an ideal response?
The fear of spiders is interfering with activities she would otherwise do and is impacting her life. It has prevented her from joining Girl Scouts, and it has also created impairment in the family unit, by involving her mom routinely in her school pick-up. She also is showing avoidance and a reaction that is disproportionate to the danger spiders can cause.
