Abstract

A specific phobia is an exaggerated, irrational fear of a particular object or situation that is avoided at all costs or faced with great stress. The essential characteristic is a real and persistent fear of objects or situations that can be seen. A case was found, a 13-year-old girl with the initials SA was brought by her 32 years mother, Mrs. MN, 32 years old, to the general polyclinic of Takari Health Center. The chief complaint was being afraid of seeing money since 4 years ago. Furthermore, it was stated that every time the girl sees money, she feels pounding and cold sweat.Despite the specific phobia being common in adults and children, the money phobia is rare. The management is the same as for other types, namely a therapeutic approach with exposure-based treatment using cognitive and behavioral treatments.
