Abstract

It is argued that fear of fear, or phobophobia, can be an important maintaining factor in cases of seemingly free-floating anxiety with periodic panic attacks and that effective treatment consists of exposure to the feared neurovegetative sensations. The case history presented suggests that inhalation of CO₂-O₂ mixtures induces the phobic interoceptive sensations and that it can be used in the exposure treatment of phobophobia.
