| Popis: | Recent research indicates that panic disorder occurs in adolescence, often causing significant interference in daily life and activities that are essential to normal adolescent development. Although late adolescence has been suggested as the initial peak age of panic disorder onset, there is a paucity of research on the treatment of adolescent panic. Based on the well-established efficacy of cognitive-behavioral treatments of panic disorder in adults, particularly Panic Control Treatment (PCT), an adaptation of PCT was developed for the treatment of panic disorder in adolescents. Case studies are presented of two adolescents treated using the adapted PCT protocol. Following 11 individual treatment sessions, each adolescent experienced substantial reductions in frequency of panic attacks, fear and avoidance of agoraphobic situations, and scores on self-report measures of anxiety and anxiety sensitivity. Implications for the treatment of panic disorder in adolescence are discussed. |
