Abstract
The phenomena of anxiety are well illustrated by the following scenario presented by a patient:
I am standing in front of a group and I suddenly begin to feel faint, my mind goes blank, my tongue cleaves to the roof of my mouth, I suddenly develop lockjaw, and my entire body begins to convulse gently until it becomes firmly fixed into a full body cast. My heart is beating so hard it feels as though it will burst, and the perspiration cascades out of my pores.
