peer agreement (net): +2
peer agreement (net): +2Disease phobia Explanation: I quote from the cited website: It is specified in DSM-IV that a disease phobia is the fear of contracting a disease (without the belief that it is already present), whereas hypochondriasis is the fear of having a disease (APA, 2000, p. 449). This distinction is seemingly discrete, but it is evident that hypochondriasis and specific phobia shade into each other. Reference: http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cache:t6zcbUGY-MUJ:media.wile... |
