Overview

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is effective for panic disorder with agoraphobia (PDA), but 10-30% of patients continue to have symptoms after treatment. This study examined what factors influence the success of different CBT approaches (individual, group, self-help) for moderate to severe PDA. For individual therapy, gender, duration of agoraphobia, and anxiety level predicted immediate success, but only duration of agoraphobia predicted long-term success. Self-help therapy had no significant predictors. For group therapy, avoidance behaviors predicted immediate success, while symptom severity predicted long-term success.
