This symptom is 'encountered exclusively among orally regressed neurotics' with voyeuristic and exhibitionistic disturbances, often associated with agoraphobia. Acrophobia dramatizes two inner problems: 'bad mother will drop me', and denial of climbing to a high point in order to exhibit one's genitals. The fear 'proves' the wish to avoid both situations.
