8:56Now PlayingAlmost all of us have irrational fears.
But what do we do when those fears are strong enough to create real problems in our lives, potentially costing us our job, for example?
In the late 1970s, a new technique for dealing with these phobias is emerging – behaviour therapy. This therapy centres on the idea that these fears are merely learned behaviour, and that they can be unlearned.
At the Cambridge Unit of the Middlesex Hospital in London, psychologist Dr Vic Meyer is pioneering this new therapeutic approach, attempting to help a local social worker with her fear of dogs.
Excerpt taken from Man Alive: Treatment for Phobias, originally broadcast on BBC Two, Tuesday 12 December, 1978.
