Treatment of Adolescent Panic Disorder: A Nonrandomized Comparison of Intensive versus Weekly CBT
Chase, Rhea M.; Whitton, Sarah W.; Pincus, Donna B.
Child & Family Behavior Therapy, v34 n4 p305-323 2012
This study compared the relative efficacy of intensive versus weekly panic control treatment (PCT) for adolescent panic disorder with agoraphobia (PDA). Twenty-six adolescents participated in weekly sessions and 25 received intensive treatment involving daily sessions. Both groups demonstrated significant and comparable reductions in panic disorder severity and general anxiety symptoms, which maintained over time. Participants receiving weekly treatment showed significant decreases in depressive symptoms, whereas those in the intensive program reported no change. Findings support the efficacy of the intensive approach for adolescent PDA, but suggest that adolescents receiving intensive treatment may benefit from a brief course of additional weekly sessions.
