Let's examine the idea shall we?

A book with humorous possible causes of phobias and techniques to eradiacate them...

Some things to be aware of:

1.) Humor can have a healing effect. We have all heard of the healing power of laughter. The interjection of humor into a help book of this type may make it approachable and easier to read for many people. It must be done in such a way not to make light of peoples' phobias however. People laughing with you is fine, but for people with phobias someone laughing at you can be detrimental. An irrational fear may be amusing to some, but never to the one that has to deal with the affect it has on their life.

2.) Real solutions and techniques makes this book stand out in the field. There are many tools to overcome or deal with phobias, and many are not known by people who are too embarrassed to seek professional treatment.

Over all, if tastefully done and well researched the book sounds like a unique idea and a wonderful tool for the majority of people who suffer, or know someone who suffers from phobias.

Good Luck!

No. While it may help make light of the situation, humor does not help cure phobias.
