This study was on a therapy case of a 41-year-old male client who was diagnosed with anthrophobia due to
problems of anxiety and depression. The client was assessed to experience anxiety and depression secondary to
marital discord, interpersonal difficulties, and problems with raising children. These problems seemed to further
worsen his fear of encountering people. It was also conceptualized that his presenting relational problems with
his wife and others seemed to be influenced by unresolved conflicts with his family of origin. In the study,
client’s life styles and patterns of interpersonal relations were analyzed by Adlerian Individual Psychology and
Sullivan’s Theory, respectively. The client’s family relationships were analyzed by Bowen Family System Theory.
An eclectic-integrative approach including Gestalt therapeutic approach was planned to address client’s presenting
problems. Therapy was carried out once a week in a 90-minute session. A total of 6 sessions were administered
to the client. Through the therapy, client showed improvement in self-esteem, marital relationships, and fears of
having relationships with others. From this case study, it was suggested that an eclectic-integrative approach
could be an effective therapeutic approach to clients with anthrophobia.
