Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ... phenomena of hypotrophism can acquire sufficient intensity to cause death. The disastrous effects of administering the last sacraments to the sick have been frequently noted, and Haller mentions the case of a man who passing over a grave felt himself held by the foot and died the same day. Phenomena Op The Short Circuit. As in the case of the phenomena of the interrupted circuit, the phenomena of the short circuit can have for their seat: (1) sensorial neurones, (2) mnesic neurones, (3) superior motor neurones, (4) superior trophic neurones. These can be arranged under the following four heads: (1) Hyperesthesias, (2) Hypermnesias, (3) Phenomena of hypertonus, (4) Phenomena of hypertrophism. 1. Hyperesthesias. Hyperesthesia can be established in relation to the object which excites fear. If that object affects vision or hearing, the subject sees or hears only it, and sees or hears it very clearly. Fear magnifies the object. This is also true for the other senses. Those who are subject to excessive fear of pain have hyperalgesia; the extremely fastidious have hypergustativity or hyperosmia; those who are extremely sensitive to touch, who fear the touch of a peach or velvet have hypertactesthesia; people who fear the cold suffer from hypercryesthesia, while those who fear warmth suffer from hyperthermoesthia. 2. Hypermnesias. Memory and imagination, that is to say, the functions by which the memory images arrange and combine themselves, play a considerable role in fear. The child subject to nocturnal fears suddenly awakes, sits up and fixates a point in space. What it is really looking at is a projected image produced by nervous waves emanating from the neurones of the visual centres and pressing upon the neurones of peripheral vision, i....

How do human emotions arise, what functions do they serve, what is their evolutionary background, how do they relate to behaviour and the brain? These questions are put, and answered, in relation to the emotion of fear in this, the second edition of professor Gray's extremely well known book, first published in 1971. In this edition, the text has been extensively modified and brought up-to-date, but the book maintains the style and general argument of the first edition. The author's approach in this book is from a biological standpoint; he emphasises the evidence that has accumulated from experiments by psychologists, ethologists, physiologists and endocrinologists. Although a lot of this evidence has been obtained from animal studies, it throws light on the psychology and physiology of fear in Man. Differences between individuals in their susceptibility to fear are treated with as much attention as the common factors are.

Fear is a normal human emotional reaction -- it is a built-in survival mechanism with which we are all equipped. Fear is a reaction to danger that involves both the mind and body. It serves a protective purpose -- signalling us of danger and preparing us to deal with it. The major components of fear are sensations, feelings, cognitions and behaviours. Fear can be individual or collective such as expressed in the national fear in the United States related to terrorism. The Washington DC sniper attacks caused widespread fear in a large geographic region far out of proportion to the real danger. Individuals must cope with fear on a daily basis in a myriad of forms: financial fears, health fears, relationship conflict fears, dental appointments, fears about the future etc. This new book collects important research which helps shed light on important issues in this field which touches all of us each day.

Each and everyone is feared by some or the other thing in their lives. When a person finds itself in a difficult situation or is threatened by something, then fear is contemplated to be the appropriate response of the body. Fear is an emotion which one feels when he/she experiences or passes through a dangerous situation or through a situation of perceived threat. When the body experiences the feeling or emotion of fear, it responds in two ways: Biochemical Reaction and Emotional Response. Biochemical response of the body is generally referred to as the fight or flight response of the body in which the body prepares itself to either fight with the situation or fly away from the situation. This is considered to be an evolutionary development which is important for our survival. Every individual’s way of physically reacting to fear is more or less the same however the emotional response is contemplated to be a personalized response of the body to fear and hence differs from one individual to another. The subject of Psychology of Fear differentiates fear as conscious, and fear as an unconscious, fear as emotion and fear as a feeling, fear as anxiety and fear in phobias and lastly fear with bodily actions and fear without bodily actions. This is done in order to understand the nature of fear and then take a probable course of action to cure it.

This edition draws on data from the ethology of defense learning theory, anxiety disorders, the psychopharmacology of anti-anxiety drugs and amnesia to present a theory of anxiety and the brain systems, especially the septo-hippocampal system that subserve it.
