There are several limitations of the current study worth
noting. First, due to the nature of the study, only patients
with a principal diagnosis of panic disorder were included. In
addition, we did not include an assessment of Axis II
disorders, which limits generalizability of the findings to
comorbid diagnoses outside of anxiety and mood disorders.
Study inclusionary criteria may have also restricted the
applicability of the findings to a more diverse patient
population. Replication of these findings is needed in more
diagnostically and ethnically diverse community and clinical
samples. Additionally, there was no control condition in the
current study (i.e., all patients received the same treatment),
so there can be no guarantee that treatment effects are
specifically related to CBT. Finally, the nature of the study
design precludes follow-up analyses to explore the relationship
of CBT for panic disorder to comorbidity over time.
