It started out as a different subject choice for the publication. However, it retained its key original topic around animals. While debriefing the class on what my original publication would cover. Someone mentioned that it could evolve further into a publication about phobias and tie it with the “animals” topic. The other reason is that the project would in turn become research based and thus Zoophobias: Fears Exposed was born.

 

Zoophobias: Fears Exposed, brings the reader through origins, references in culture and historical events/figures of eight common animal phobias from all over the world. Lastly, each phobia is explained its relationship to an individual’s daily life, symptoms a phobic might express, and introductions to programs and/or methods to help a phobic retain control of their fears.
