Arachnophobie
the arachnophobie is the name given to the fear of the Araignée S. It is one of the most frequent Phobie S. The fear must be unexplainable for the patient himself (it is not the fear of a bite) and intense so that the diagnosis of phobia is posed. Like all the animal phobias, it tends to appear relatively early, towards the 7 years age. No research still brought definitive answer as for its origin, but the tendency to family transmission was clearly highlighted, which makes it possible to consider a genetic component; this does not exclude however the possibility of other factors starting among certain patients. The most effective therapy seems to be the cognitivo-behavioral Psychothérapie.
