The author reviews the problem of agoraphobia and sees it as a symptom not exclusively hysterical. From his material, he demonstrates agoraphobic symptoms associated with obsessional neuroses, depressions, character disorders, and conversion hysterias. In his discussion, he emphasizes the role of early trauma and pregenital fixations in agoraphobia, including the psychopathology of the parents in contributing to the formation of a defective superego.
