Özet

The aim of this study is to consider cultural and behavioural factors of frigophobia development by examining undeclared frigophobia cases in Turkey. This report discusses two cases of a specific phobia (frigophobia) determined during home visits. The study suggests that raising awareness at all levels of the healthcare services in this respect and approaching the field in a multi- disciplinary team work in identifying and treatment of cases would improve the lives of individuals suffering from such phobias.
