    Abstract

    This article examines the nature and course of panic disorder as understood from a cognitive-behavioral perspective. A model of the causes and maintenance of panic disorder is presented, and is followed by a discussion of the elements and efficacy of cognitive-behavioral treatment. Treatment effects and factors associated with relapse are considered within the context of evidence for a differential course of panic disorder for patients treated with cognitive-behavioral therapy relative to those treated with pharmacotherapy. Issues of combined treatment, maintenance of treatment gains, and preventive interventions are discussed.
