Although all therapists who have
experience with this clinical problem would have
much to offer, we decided to focus on the only
current intervention that is an empirically supported
treatment: CBT. The survey was broadly conceived,
asking respondents (a) to indicate all aspects of CBT
that they used in treating panic disorder, (b) to
respond to a series of questions with variables that
presumably limited successful symptom reduction in
clinical work using CBT to treat panic disorder, and
(c) to provide identifying information.
