SOCIAL PHOBIA. Social phobia is a persistent fear of situations in which the person is exposed to possible scrutiny by others and fears that the person may do something or act in a way that will be humiliating or embarrassing. It exceeds normal "shyness" as it leads to social avoidance and substantial social or occupational impairment.
Treatment research has provided evidence for the efficiency of two forms of treatment available for social phobia: certain medications and a specific form of short-term psychotherapy called Cognitive-behavioral therapy.
XENOPHOBIA. This word can mean a fear of or aversion to, not only persons from other countries, but other cultures, subcultures, subsets of belief systems. As with all phobias, a xenophobic person is aware of the fear, and therefore has to genuinely think or believe at some level that the target is in fact a foreigner. This arguably separates xenophobia from racism and ordinary prejudice in that someone of a different race does not necessarily have to be of a different nationality.
To conclude I would like to say that some therapists use virtual reality or imagery exercise to desensitize patients to be healed. Everything is progressing for a better life.
