The concept of affect phobia is an aspect of psychoanalytic theory. It is a cornerstone of psychoanalysis that psychodynamic conflict can be centred on a fear of feeling or affect phobia. These fears which may be conscious or unconscious are thought to underly many symptoms that people bring to therapy. [1]
Freud[2] hypothesized that neuroses were the result of the analysand's attempts to stave of aversive unconscious experiences.
