Grundformen der Angst

More about the book

In this classic bestseller of modern psychology from 1961, longtime psychotherapist Fritz Riemann explores a model of four different types of fear, which he characterises in turn, and which correspond in their extreme versions to the psychiatric conditions of hysteria, as well as schizoid, depressive and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. He goes on to describe, for each type of fear, the possible childhood triggers, impact on life, and examples from his experience.
