Summary
Panic disorder is an anxiety disorder where people experience recurrent, unexpected panic attacks. The evidence-based CBT model of panic disorder developed by Clark still remains the dominant treatment for this disorder. This chapter explores some of the theory around panic disorder, looking at the underlying mechanisms that maintain this disorder. It will also provide guidance on assessment and formulation. Evidence-based treatment techniques are presented and direction on how to implement these, as well as strategies to prevent future relapse.
