Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -According to Sigmund Freud, phobias stem from childhood incidents that are then stored in the unconscious mind. Freud believed that phobias are repressed, or displaced, desires and fears.
Detailed explanation-2: -A phobia is an overwhelming and unreasonable fear of an object or situation that poses little real danger but provokes anxiety and avoidance.
Detailed explanation-3: -As opposed to neurotic fear, Freud states that real fear appears to be a rational response to an external danger, and the expression of the instinct of self-preservation, but this theory should be “thoroughly revised” (p. 341).
