I was researching scary dolls and decided to do a search to find out what the fear of dolls is called. The following is an unpaid advertisement for an actual web site and program. It is NOT a parody.
have a fear of dolls? You can be cured!

The Fear of Dolls is called pediophobia. def. "a persistent, abnormal, and irrational fear of dolls"
"Though a variety of potent drugs are often prescribed for pediophobia, side effects and/or withdrawal symptoms can be severe. Moreover, drugs do not "cure" pediophobia or any other phobia. At best they temporarily suppress the symptoms through chemical interaction."
"the problem often significantly impacts the quality of life. It can cause panic attacks and keep people apart from loved ones and business associates. Symptoms typically include shortness of breath, rapid breathing, irregular heartbeat, sweating, nausea, and overall feelings of dread, although everyone experiences pediophobia in their own way and may have different symptoms."
"Pediophobia will likely cost you tens, even hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of your lifetime -- let alone the cost to your health and quality of life."
"results are permanent. Pediophobia is gone. Forever."

But so long as the negative association is powerful enough, the unconscious mind thinks: "Ahh, this whole thing is clearly very dangerous. How do I keep myself from getting in this kind of situation again? I know, I'll attach terrible feelings to dolls -- that way I'll steer clear in future and so be safe." Just like that Pediophobia is born. Attaching emotions to situations is one of the primary ways that humans learn. Sometimes we just get the wiring wrong."
