Scopophobia

Scopophobia^[1] (Graece σκοπέω 'aspicio, intueror, scrutaror' + φόβος 'timor'), sive ophthalmophobia (Graece ὀφθαλμός 'oculus' + φόβος 'timor'), est morbus anxietatis cuius proprietas est timor morbidus ne alii aegrum videant vel intueantur.^[2]

Historia

Medici antiquitatis classicae phobias sciebant; notio quidem phobiarum socialium circa 400 a.C.n. commemorata est. Hippocrates ipse descripsit aegrum scopophobiá laborantem, hominem nimis verecundum, qui "tam tenebras quam lumen amat" et "putat omnem virum eum observare."^[3]

Phobie sociale ('timor socialis'), vocabulum Francicum, anno 1903 excogitatum est a Petro Janet, psychiatro Francico, qui hoc vocabulo utebatur ad aegros describendos qui timorem ne videantur exhibebant cum agitationibus quotidianis interessent, sicut scribendo, legendo, loquendo, clavili ludendo.^[4] The Alienist and Neurologist, periodicum psychiatricum, anno 1906 scopophobiam sic descripsit:^[5]

Homini est timor ne videatur et verecundia quae in asylis videtur . . . quem appellabamus scopophobiam—timorem morbidum ne videatur. Gradu minore, verecundia morbida est, et aeger faciem manibus tegit; gradu maiore, aeger hospitem evadet et ex eius conspectu effuget ubi fieri potest. Scopophobia plus inter mulieres quam inter viros saepius patefit.^[6]

Idem commentarius scopophobiam definit: "timor ne homines videant nec videantur, praecipue de faciebus inusitatis."^[7]^[8]

In greater degree, the patient will shun the visitor and escape from his or her sight where this is possible. Scopophobia is more often manifest among women than among men."
