The Hell of Social Phobia

Steve Conway (the victim of this phobia) led a great lifestyle, mixing with the super stars of the 1950s & 60s like Frank Sinatra and John Lennon. Among his personal friends were world champion boxer Freddie Mills, singer Michael Holiday, movie star Diana Dors, and many others (even the notorious Dr Stephen Ward of the ‘Profumo scandal’ fame). He shows Ward in a very different light from what the media have led us to believe, and gives us a different take on the mysterious deaths of Ward, Mills and Holiday. But as the phobia takes over his life he begins to slide down the social ladder.

After years of medical treatment and the loss by suicide of friends and fellow sufferers he met at the various clinics along the way, we find him broke and ill begging on the London streets with only his dog for company. But it is here after a lifetime living in isolation in his lonely room controlled by fear that he found a cure that worked for him.

An incredible emotional rollercoaster of a true story. Much stranger than any fiction. This moving and courageous book will result in all phobias being viewed in a totally new way and with more compassion and understanding. It will also give sufferers the world over new hope and the will to go on.
