It talks about fears of being exposed as a frauds  wide spread (70%) among the so-called high achievers. They say it is a psychiatric condition which needs to be medically treated.

There is a paper  on that in International Journal of Behavioral Science
 The Impostor Phenomenon

The Impostor Phenomenon was identified from clinical observations during
therapeutic  sessions  with  high  achieving  women  by  Dr  Pauline  Clance. 
Despite  objective  evidence  of  success,  these  women  had  a  pervasive 
psychological  experience  believing  that they  were  intellectual  frauds  and 
feared  being  recognised  as  impostors.    They  suffered  from  anxiety,  fear  of 
failure  and  dissatisfaction  with  life.    This  article  reviews  definitions  and 
characteristics  of  trait  Impostorism,  some  antecedents,  such  as  personality 
and  family  achievement  environment  and  psychological  distress  as  a 
consequence of Impostorism.
