SECTION C: Practical Applications

Answer all the question parts in Section C.

Baked Beans are ruining my life. A cook had to quit his job because he has an uncontrollable fear of baked beans. Rob Griffiths feels faint every time he sees what he calls the ‘orange devils’. He said: “I get shaky and I just have to run if they’re anywhere near me.” Rob thinks he developed rare leguminophobia, the fear of baked beans, after his brothers threw them at him when he was a child. He said: “I was a pub chef and breakfast was hard. Staff had to prepare the beans while I hid in the back.” Now a window cleaner, Rob, of Milton Keynes, says he can’t even go near the beans when they’re safely in tins in Tesco. “It is very distressing,” he added. Leading behavioural scientist Prof. Cary Cooper said: “It sounds like a classic phobia but there is help out there if he wants it.”
