Speaking about the contexts of his writing of the childhood biography "Rohab Mutaeadid" (Multiple phobias) Abdellatif Mahfouz says, "Rohab Mutaeadid" (Multiple phobias), oriented more towards diagnosing the prevailing social values in the sixties and seventies of the last century in Fez, where I monitored them through simple events, which may not seem important, but the reactions towards them implicitly embody the values, and spontaneously avoid declarative; I also referred to events that narrate the difference in the general mood and the form of its division over some new entertainment products and structures that had a decisive impact on the transformation and openness of Moroccan society, such as television and cinemas.
