Some phobias do follow a bad experience, but some develop without one. Some phobias may come about by social learning: child sees their parent frightened of a phobia and so imitate. Behaviour is reinforced by reducing own anxiety and parent's anxiety. Psychodynamic approach may explain phobias with displacement. Possible that phobias are a result of displacement of anxiety onto something more manageable. Alternative explanations suggest that not all phobias are from classical conditioning.
