Phobic States 恐惧状态 I would like at this point to return to a consideration of the problem of phobias. The interest in phobias is prompted by the general phenomena in the case histories we have been studying of persistent phobias in childhood among these patients. For almost all of these patients childhood phobias form a fairly intense symptomatic aspect of their early experience. In addition the phobic element seems to form a prominent part of the adult pattern of illness. It would be useful at this point to consider the relationship between phobic symptoms and phobic states to the paranoid process. The question also seems to me to be of some utility in concretizing and specifying some of the connections between externalization and projection as such. 在此，我想再谈谈恐惧症的问题。对恐惧症的兴趣是由我们一直在研究的病例史中的普遍现象引起的，这些病人在童年时就有持续的恐惧症。对于几乎所有这些患者来说，童年恐惧症构成了他们早期经历中相当强烈的症状方面。此外，恐惧症的因素似乎形成了成人疾病模式的一个突出部分。在这一点上，考虑恐惧症症状和恐惧状态与偏执过程之间的关系将是有益的。在我看来，这个问题对于具体化和指出外化和投射之间的一些联系也有一定的作用。
