Show Only Two Natural Fears Psychologists maintain there are only two natural tears, namely, the fear of falling, if unsupported, and the fear of a loud unexpected noise. However, fear of the dentist is well-nigh well-nigh universal and according to Maynard K. Iline, in the Modern Psychologist, it comes chiefly from parents telling children of their own painful experience in the dentist's den-tist's chair and because the patient never knowa just when the dentist is going to jab his instruments Into some unexpected nerve center. This fear of the unexpected pain doubles the pain. |
