Psychotherapy with night-terror patients.

Kales JC, Cadieux RJ, Soldatos CR, Kales A.

Abstract

This is the first report of the effectiveness of psychotherapy in treating adult night-terror patients. Night terrors were eliminated or drastically reduced in two patients who completed psychotherapy. A third patient discontinued therapy and showed no improvement. Thus, the primary role of psychopathology in the production of night terrors in adulthood was illustrated.
