Having fun with phobias

Join Anthropologist and writer Dr Chris Eipper, Hypnotist Daryl Wilkinson, GP and writer Dr Leah Kaminsky and artists Dominic Redfern and David Rosetzky for an insight into phobias and those of us who have them.

3pm Sunday 11 May 2008

The works in My Doubtful Mind testify to the creative potential of this phenomenon: the spectacle of its razor sharp fears, its comedy as much as its tragedy.

Otherwise 'rational' people can fall apart at the sight of stickers (especially those half peeled off), pillowcases, buttons (particularly the black and white ones), cardboard and, yes, bananas.

It is hard not to find pleasure in such unlikely pain.

Yet for all the curious humour of such fears, they are very real for those whose lives they occupy. Phobias are inescapable, unrelenting, and require constant vigilance. They can be debilitating ... but sometimes you can have fun with phobias.
