Disease Phobias 疾病恐惧症 It seems worth noting at this point that a number of the relatively frequently reported and studied phobic states show strong coincidence with factors which we have delineated in some of our paranoid patients. The disease phobias are generally statistically dominated by cancer phobia. These patients seem to manifest a subvariant of hypochondriasis. Their fear is persistent and unfounded and their doubts about it remain despite detailed examination and medical reassurances. Several of our patients have manifested this form of phobic anxiety. Such patients usually exhibit an excess of guilt, and prior to the onset of the phobia are more prone to the inhibition of anger, to excessive bodily concern, and to low self-esteem. As children they were often weak, sickly, and overprotected. The pattern of frequent family illness and maternal overprotectiveness and oversolicitude seems to be prominent in their background. Their tolerance of pain is low, and they have a deeply ingrained sense of personal vulnerability. The pattern has by now become a familiar one in this study. 这时似乎值得注意的是，一些比较经常报道和研究的恐惧状态，与我们在一些偏执症患者身上所划定的因素有很强的吻合性。据统计，疾病恐惧症一般以癌症恐惧症为主。这些患者似乎表现出一种疑病症的亚变异。他们的恐惧是持续的、没有根据的，尽管经过详细的检查和医学上的保证，他们对恐惧的疑虑仍然存在。我们有几位患者就表现出这种形式的恐惧焦虑。这类患者通常表现出过多的内疚感，在恐惧症发病之前，更容易抑制愤怒，过度关注身体，低自尊。小时候他们常常体弱多病，保护过度。在他们的背景中，家庭疾病频发和母亲的过度保护和过度关心的模式似乎很突出。他们对痛苦的容忍度很低，他们对个体的脆弱感根深蒂固。在这项研究中，这种模式现在已经成为一种熟悉的模式。
