Cognitive-behavioral group psychotherapy for agoraphobia and panic disorder.
1995
Agoraphobia is a complex disorder characterized by substantial personal, social, and occupational disability. This paper presents a cognitive-behavioral model of group psychotherapy for agoraphobia treatment wherein group members are taught active coping skills to reduce anxiety and behavioral avoidance. Therapy occurs in the context of a supportive group, which aids in reducing the social isolation and alienation attendant on this severe anxiety disorder. The model of treatment is amenable to both time-limited and open-ended group therapy formats
