PANIC AND PHOBIA ARE NO MYSTERY -- THEY ARE SIMPLE TO CURE

PANIC AND PHOBIA ARE NO MYSTERY -- THEY ARE SIMPLE TO CURE
"The current authorities on phobia and panic troubles are quite wrong in their explanations and treatments," according to psychologist-theorist, Dr. Kenneth Isaacs, ABPP. "If, instead, they correct their understanding of fundamental issues about human emotion, they too will be able to quickly and permanently cure these problems."

He went on to say, "Those are agonizing experiences in the lives of many people but they can now be understood as mere episodes that are neither "attacks" nor serious defects in personality. Some leaders in the mental health field fail to take into account, or perhaps even to understand, some fundamental truths about human emotion. That has predetermined their failure to comprehend and permanently cure the disturbances for which they claim expertise."

He continues, "Routine talk-show presentations of the agony of sufferers with such troubles satisfy a talk-show host's need to present drama. They also satisfy an authority's need to peddle a treatment method. It is the unavailability of clear thought, clear logic, and clear observations about mental processes that dooms great numbers of people to extended suffering. Those suffering people could use good information to make their lives better. But talk show hosts are unaware that the offered "treatments" are inappropriate, unnecessarily painful, and strangely tangential to the actual psychological problems. They blindly support the currently popular explanations because they come from accepted authorities."

Isaacs says, "Panic and phobia can be fully and permanently cured, and usually that can occur in short order. Full and permanent cure entails using new knowledge about emotions and comprehending the fundamental place of emotion in human minds. A cure calls for simple tutoring, with no rituals, no confrontations, and no drugs-to bring understanding."

Considerable web site material at is available for the general public as well as for students and professionals. Additionally, the web-site has two of Dr. Isaacs's books available for download, with others to be added soon. New and previously published journal articles will be available on the web site in the future. "These are appropriate for personal study or for class assignment," he said.

"Professionals and students will find sufficient material there to understand the logic and science of this fundamental theory. That will enable them to apply useful knowledge regardless of their particular school of psychological thought. Many professionals now recognize that the new knowledge will eventually eradicate some psychological disorders."

Dr. Isaacs, who has a doctorate in psychology from the University of Chicago, is widely known in the United States and Europe from fifty years of helping patients, students, and professionals through his clinical practice, lectures, writings, and leadership roles in psychology's professional associations. He is recognized in several Who's Who books including Who's Who in Medicine and Healthcare, Science and Engineering, and Who's Who in the World.
