The Phobia List
Curing Phobias, Shyness and Obsessive
Compulsive Disorders - by Howard Liebgold MD
site sponsors
I started this list in the late 1980's and put it on the web in 1995.
It's since been adopted and adapted onto many pages since then.
Please don't ask me about curing phobias because I know little about them. My interest is in the names only.
All the phobia names on this list have been found in some reference book.
If you're looking for a phobia name that's not on the list....I'm afraid I don't have it.
