The fear regression is triggered by "fear demotion of behavior on biologically older stages of development; Examples are play dead reflex (paralysis) or storm of movement . IwS any 'primitive' behavior in fearful situations ”, as Hans Martin Sutermeister defines the term.

The fear regression is an outdated cultural studies antonym to recovery regression . For the Marxist Swiss philosopher Theodor Black which meant existentialism "a fear regression 'as a symptom of, civil and doom.'" Hans Martin Sutermeister, on the other hand, criticizes socialist realists for seeing “a pronounced fear gression in Western formalistic expressionism and dream-like“ surrealism ”; instead he recognizes recreational regression in Expressionism . Sutermeister devotes several writings to the subject, from psychology and worldview (1944) to basic concepts of today's psychology (1976).
