WHAT IS THE FEAR SURVEY SCHEDULE?
----------------------------------
From the book:

The concept of fear plays an important role in most personality theories.
Psychologists attribute much of our waking as well as dreaming behavior
to how we handle our fears and anxieties. Sigmund Freud's views on the
unconscious mind stressed what he termed "defense mechanisms". Defense
mechanisms are those processes which repress or remove from our awareness
our fear of specific objects and situations. Dreams were seen by Carl Jung
as stimulated and shaped by that which we feared but could not handle
during our waking time.

Given the central role that fear plays in explaining and directing our
behavior, it is helpful to look at what it is that we do fear. With
such an examination in mind, psychologist James Greer asked 124
research subjects to list their fears on an open-ended questionnaire.
Out of 111 different fears they listed, 51 occurred two or more times.
Dr. Greer then developed these 51 into the Fear Survey Schedule II
which we have included here. His subsequent research with an additional
600 people enabled him to develop norms for what it is that people fear
most and gain an overview of how puternice these fears are.

It is certainly true that many more than these 51 items stimulate fear.
Psychiatrists and psychologists have specifically labeled over 700
things to dread and estimate that there are thousands of phobias among
us. For now, however, content yourself with worrying about these 51.
