What is Doraphobia ?
Doraphobia- Fear of fur or skins of animals.
Treatment of Doraphobia
Graduated exposure is the treatment of choice for Doraphobia and it can be undertaken in single or multi session form or as a self-help programme. However, it is essential that the animals with fur and skin chosen to take part in the treatment are well-behaved and friendly and can be trusted never to act in an aggressive manner. It is well known that domestic animals are highly sensitive and can detect fear in humans.
It is evident that a phobic person first needs to become comfortable in the company of fur and skin.
