This rare psychopathological phenomenon reflects an ancient fear, and its origin is not known. Taphophobia is closely linked to the problem of apparent death and premature burial. In the nineteenth century, scientists and authors paid particular attention to the issue of apparent death, and special devices (safety coffins) were invented to ensure that premature burial was avoided. Nowadays taphophobia is quite a rare psychiatric disorder; different forms of social anxiety disorders are much more widespread. Its modern equivalent could be the fear of organs harvested from a patient who is still alive.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0957154x16650100","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,5,25]],"date-time":"2016-05-25T23:08:12Z","timestamp":1464217692000},"page":"345-349","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Taphophobia and \u2018life preserving coffins\u2019 in the nineteenth century"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Marco","family":"Cascella","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Cancer Institute \u201cG.
