		This latter usage is unacceptable to 74 percent of the Usage Panel, implying that claustrophobic should be used only to describe a psychological state.
		Nevertheless, this usage is well established, and it follows a tendency to combine adjectives with nouns according to a progressively looser interpretation of the relationship between the two.
		For example, the phrase topless swimsuit came to be followed by topless dancers, which led in turn to topless bars, topless districts, and topless ordinances.

	Claustrophobia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Claustrophobes may suffer from panic attacks, or fear of having a panic attack, in situations such as being in elevators, trains or aircraft.
		Popularly, claustrophobia is considered to be the opposite of agoraphobia, or a "fear of open spaces".
		This is an oversimplification, however: claustrophobes may also fear being in crowds, and agoraphobia can also be characterized as a "fear of public spaces", and so a crowded city square might trigger claustrophobics and agoraphobics alike.

		The girl became extremely claustrophobic in the middle of the tour, to the extent that she was hyperventilating.
		The submarine is the only claustrophobic experience she's ever had, and I'm hoping it wasn't traumatizing, since we got out as soon as she started feeling badly.
		Apart from considering the discomfort caused to the claustrophobic person if they can't be allowed out immediately, I think the rest of the group would be disappointed if they had to be rushed through the rest of the tour.

	Help me get a claustrophobic to fly...
		I have a friend (no really, it's a friend), who is not afraid of flying per se, but is claustrophobic and can't deal with being trapped in a space...therefore, won't get on a plane.
		when we had to get my claustrophobic son on a plane and he did not fall into the "young child" category, we would ask if we could board first.
		That way he was in his seat and not stuck in a horde of people trying to find seats, put carryons away, etc. He still wasn't happy, but it was easier on him.

	Claustrophobia
		The situations that claustrophobics tend to avoid are elevators, tunnels, subway trains, small rooms, medical diagnostic imaging techniques, underground parkings, etc. The person does not fear the situation itself, but the negative consequences of being in that place.
		Most closed spaces entail a degree of entrapment and a restriction of movements and many claustrophobics feel excessively vulnerable when their movements are restricted (Rachman, 1997).
		The fear of suffocating may arise from the belief that there is not air enough available in the enclosed space.

	BBC NEWS \| South Asia \| India's claustrophobic classrooms
		Private schools are more prone to be lax, though government schools are not much better, thanks to the public spending on education sliding to a paltry 3% of India's gross domestic product (GDP).
		Most of India's private schools in district towns are dull, claustrophobic, cramped and often derelict structures with no fire safety systems, playgrounds or libraries.
		Most of these private schools in Tamil Nadu's district towns are located in a warren of congested lanes and by lanes and school authorities often lock the gates when classes are on to keep children from slipping out into the traffic.

	ROUTINE PROBLEMS AND RISKS DURING TREATMENT The Claustrophobic Patient
		Next consider the stifling heat that reflects the compression of air: Based on the general gas law, which combines Boyle's Law and Charles' Law, one can predict that temperature within the chamber will increase as a function of pressure.
		In a surprising number of cases, in fact, the threat of illness and a cramped noisy hot restrictive environment interact with claustrophobic tendencies to jeopardize the willingness of the patient to see treatment through to its therapeutically desirable conclusion.
		It is therefore incumbent upon the clinical staff operating the recompression facility to anticipate the discomfort and prepare to act decisively.

	Karnac Books : The Claustrum : An Investigation of Claustrophobic Phenomena
		Using the Kleinian concept of projective-identification, with special reference to intrusive identification with internal objects, this work examines claustrophobic phenomena and its relations to the treatment of borderline and adolescent patients.
		This book is a report of the work in progress on the phenomenology of Melanie Klein's concept of Projective Identification, with special reference to Intrusive Identification with Internal objects related to states of masturbatory excitement.
		The light that this throws on the analytic situation with borderline patients and with adolescents is the main focus of the book, but its relevance for understanding the problems of character in neurotic and normal subjects, its relevance to perversions and addictions, and to attitudes, prejudice and political orientation are also examined.

	Claustrophobia - the fear of being closed in
		It is often linked with conditions which have a strong physical element, such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), where there is a realistic need to be able to escape quickly to get to a toilet.
		In such cases, even if the condition subsides, the fear of not having an escape route may continue because you now have 'learned' the claustrophobic response.
		If you experience panic attacks or social phobia these will usually have a strong claustrophobia element since you fear that is you have a 'funny turn' everybody will notice you and this could lead to you losing control of yourself.

		Conventional MRI systems are designed in such a way that the very thought of enduring the scan is unbearable to those who suffer from claustrophobia, an anxiety disorder arising from the fear of entrapment and confinement.
		The research is of practical relevance to medical imaging practitioners and all other health professionals working in the MRI environment.
		The findings show that using open scanner designs generally reduces the severity of the claustrophobic effects patients experience.
