I suggest removing the remark "unreliable medical source" at references 1,3,6,8. The Journal of Anxiety Disorders is a legitimate medical journal and the same is true about the American Journal of Psychiatry which is the official journal of the American Psychiatric Association. I suggest adding the following paragraph to Driving Phobia:

Psychological Assessment of Post-Accident Patients
2607:FEA8:28C0:21B:565:936A:32D5:690 (talk) 16:21, 25 April 2020 (UTC) Canadian psychotherapist James Whetstone has developed his Vehicle Anxiety Questionnaire[1] to assess the driving phobia of survivors of car accidents. This questionnaire maps the driving phobia along 6 dimensions:  (1) Compensating driving behaviours (Items 1 to 6),  (2) Passenger anxieties (Items 7 to 10), (3) Physical manifestations of anxiety (Items 11 to 16),  (4) Limitations to mobility (Items 17 to 21), (5) Avoidance behaviours (Items 22 to 26), and (6) Challenges to personal and relationship stability (Items 27 to 31). The answers to Whetstone items can be scored with 0 points for “Not at All,” 1 for “Mildly,” 2 for “Frequently,” and with 3 points for “Constantly.”  In clinical use, as the last part of Whetstone questionnaire, the patients are also asked to provide ratings, on a scale from 1 to 10, of anxiety as a driver or as a passenger since their accident and then, also separately the rating of their driver and passenger anxiety over the years before the accident. In the criterion validation study, Whetstone responses of 53 survivors of car accidents were compared to those of 24 normal controls. There was no overlap between the score distribution in the group of patients (lowest score was 23) and the control group (highest score was 19). The patients’ scores ranged from 23 to 93, with the average at 65.5 (SD=17.4) and those in a control group ranged from 0 to 19, with the average at 6.8 (SD=5.1). The convergent validity was also very satisfactory: high correlations were found of Whetstone questionnaire to the Driving Anxiety Questionnaire (r=.80) and to the PCL-5 measure of PTSD symptoms (r=.78). Whetstone scores were found to be also highly correlated with the post-concussion syndrome (r=.63) and moderately with whiplash symptoms (r=.46), post-accident insomnia (r=.56), ratings of post-accident pain (rs ranging from .43 to .50), and ratings of depression (r=.40) and of generalized anxiety (r=.43). Significant correlation was also found of Whetstone to Steiner’s Automobile Anxiety Inventory (r=.45). Reference Whetstone JP, Cernovsky Z, Tenenbaum S, Poggi G, Sidhu A, Istasy M, Dreer M.
