Before he is able to explain more, Philp suddenly states that his name is actually Diane and she is a 48 year-old-woman.

However, she becomes intensely anxious at the thought of speaking in public. Whenever they try to force her to give a presentation at work, she begins to feel anxious days in advance of the talk and the anxiety increases as the time for the talk approaches. She is concerned that her anxiety will become noticeable during the talk or that she will do something to embarrass herself. She decides to call in sick, so she doesn't have to give the presentation, even though she knows the material like the back of her hand, she just can't get over her fear. Case Study 10: Alex, a 35-year-old clothing salesman was showing a particularly fussy customer a suit 2 months ago and suddenly began to sweat profusely. His heart started to pound, he felt dizzy, and out of breath, and became fearful that he was about to die. Alex, feeling faint and shaky, abruptly left the customer and went to lie down in the back of the store. When the manager found Alex, he was slumped in a chair in the back room trembling and complaining of chest pain. Approximately 10 minutes later the Alex's symptoms began to subside. He saw his physician the next day who found no evidence of any medical problems. Two weeks later, he had another similar unexpected attack. Since that time, he has worried continuously about having another attack and reliving the embarrassment he felt the first time he felt overwhelmed with fear and worry for no apparent reason. Case Study 11: Tim, a 26-year-old man, is very concerned about cleanliness and hygiene. He spends a significant amount of time each day washing his hands or showering, especially after touch a toilet seat, doorknob, or any other item he thinks may be dirty or contaminated. Tim explains that he is concerned about becoming infected or sick from touching these objects.

Case Study 12: Chandler, age 23, an athletic young man has an intense fear of needles. He tries to rationalize his fear by explaining that he is just being cautious and a lot of people aren't fond of needles. He realizes that his fear is irrational, however, he is still unable to control it. Chandler has fainted in the past at just the thought of being stuck by a needle during a physical examination. He becomes extremely anxious at the sight of a needle and worries for days before an appointment with his physician or dentist. He ultimately decides to cancel his upcoming appointment in order to avoid any chance of being stuck with a needle. Case Study 13: Mary, age 45, has a criminal record for substance abuse, theft, and several assault charges. She is currently is in jail for scamming hundreds of elderly individuals out of their retirement funds. When told that some of the individuals passed away from heart attacks after learning they had their retirement funds stolen from them, she tried to hold back a laugh from lack of emotional empathy. During the interview she seemed careless, making up random lies about her past, and showed little to no remorse for any of her actions. She repeatedly tried to negotiate answering more questions in exchange to getting to use the phone. At one point during the interview when she was caught lying, she became verbally aggressive and even threatened the interviewer.
