AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
The present study describes the results of a 7-month and a 15-month follow-up of 32 agoraphobic patients treated with exposure in vivo or applied relaxation. During the follow-up period, all patients were given self-exposure instructions. Assessments were made in three response systems--subjective-cognitive, behavioural, and physiological--at the follow-up points. The study showed overall maintenance of treatment results in all three response systems for exposure-treated patients. For applied relaxation/self-exposure, there was a relapse on delta heart-rate at 7 months for physiologically reactive patients, but the improvement was regained at the 15 month follow-up. Furthermore, a large proportion of the total improvement occurred during the follow-up period: 36% and 22% for exposure and applied relaxation/self-exposure respectively. The proportion of patients reaching a clinically significant improvement was 50% at the end of treatment and 66% at the 15 month follow-up.

A practice team-based exercise programme with elements of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and case management for patients with panic disorder with or without agoraphobia in primary care showed significant positive effects. Here, we analyse the long-term effects (>5 years) of this intervention in the stressful context of the Covid-19 pandemic. All participants of the original PARADIES cluster randomized controlled trial (cRCT; 2012-2016) were invited to participate in a follow-up during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Background: Recent evidence implicates intensive panic control treatment (IPCT) - a full panic control treatment protocol compressed into a single weekend - as a viable alternative for Veterans with panic disorder who are unable or unwilling to commit to standard weekly cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). However, no studies to date have examined pretreatment predictors of response to IPCT. Knowledge of such predictors may be important for understanding which Veterans are best suited for IPCT relative to standard CBT.

Background: The Unified Protocol (UP) for the transdiagnostic treatment of emotional disorders (EDs) has demonstrated its efficacy in improving dimensions shared by EDs, but there is insufficient evidence regarding the specific symptoms of each ED. The main objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of the UP applied in a group format compared with individual Treatment as Usual (TAU), in improving specific ED symptoms.
Methods: The study sample (n=243) was a subset of participants of a randomized controlled trial conducted in the Spanish public health system.

Department of Health Promotion, Norwegian Institute of Public Health, Bergen, Norway.
Background: Prompt Mental Health Care (PMHC, Norwegian adaption of Improving Access to Psychological Therapies) has shown effects on symptoms of anxiety and depression compared to treatment as usual (TAU). In this secondary analysis, we examine the effectiveness of PMHC among clients presenting with symptoms of social anxiety disorder (SAD) and/or agoraphobia on core symptoms at 6- and 12-month follow-up.
Methods: Randomized controlled trial in two PMHC sites (70:30 ratio PMHC:TAU).

No studies to date examine predictors of treatment satisfaction following intensive cognitive-behavioral therapy interventions among adolescents. Given the challenges to treatment adherence among adolescents, and the promise intensive interventions hold for providing rapid symptom relief and increasing access to care, data examining adolescents' satisfaction with intensive programs are needed. Twenty-four adolescents (ages 12-17) with panic disorder received an eight-day intensive cognitive-behavioral therapy intervention.
