Imagine What Your Life Would Be Like Without Automatonophobia
Trusted, Effective Treatment for Ventriloquist's Dummy Phobia

(snip)

To add insult to an already distressing condition, most ventriloquist's dummy phobia therapies take months or years and sometimes even require the patient to be exposed repeatedly to their fear. We believe that not only is this totally unnecessary, it will often make the condition worse.

Though a variety of potent drugs are often prescribed for ventriloquist's dummy phobia, side effects and/or withdrawal symptoms can be severe.

They were (included myself) subjected to this and it was described as "family entertainment" in the 1980's. IIRC they even had a prime time TV show!



Believe me, this green "duck" had its limitations on its entertainment value.

Probably as bad as...



I don't know who is more scary here : Rod or Emu! (who was also billed as "family entertainment" on UK TV in the 1980's)

Mark.
