Agoraphobia is an anxiety order, often precipitated by the fear of having a panic attack in a setting from which there is no easy means of escape. The people going through this phobia avoid meeting people and places where they have to deal with public. Such patients are confined to their home only, as they only consider their home to be safe. The movie 'Finding Forrester' is based on the fictitious character, William Forrester who was suffering from the above mentioned phobia and so was J.B Salinger an American author on whom the story is based.The character of William Forrester is similar to that of J.D. Salinger in the following ways...
