08/18/97: Question: What is the term for a fear of roaches?

Posted By: Jim R. Johnson


Maybe in search of information I stopped at the wrong place, but I'm trying desperately to help our 17-year-old daughter. She is terrified of roaches, and tonight, at 11 pm, we had to go to her boyfriend's home to pick her up. A roach had run across the windshild of her car and she became so hysterical that she could not drive home. Do you know what type of therapist specializes in treating people with fears of roaches?
