N2 - During assessment of a girl with a long-standing phobic state, it was found that she also had previously unrecognised perceptuo-motor problems, which were associated with continuing problems in balance and spatial awareness. Her phobia improved after a desensitisation programme, but the physical disorder persisted, despite physiotherapy. The authors conclude that the girl's phobic anxiety may have had its origin in her experience of the perceptual disorder during development.
