Abstract
Fear Survey Schedules (FSS) have been employed both as research instruments
as well as clinical assessment techniques. (Lang and Lazovik, 1963, Wolpe and
Lang, 1964, Geer, 1965, Manosovitz and Lanyon, 1965, Rubin, et ah, 1968, Braun and
Reynolds, 1969, and Rubin, era/., 1909). Wolpe, et al., (1968, p. 27) point out that it is
often astonishing to find out many areas of unadaptive anxiety in an individual
which have eluded all other avenues of enquiry, come to light through the FSS. The
FSS by Wolpe and Lang (1964) has been used quite often in clinical situations,
though Bernstein and Allen (1969) claim that its clinical bias has made it least popular
and utilitarian when compared with the other fear survey schedules available.
