Abstract

Recurring episodes of intense physical sensations are characteristic features of panic disorder. During cognitive behavioral treatment (CBT) of the disorder, the therapist frequently challenges the patient's misinterpretations of certain physiological symptoms. When discussing these issues, the therapist typically has to rely on the patient's subjective report, which is often subject to distortion. Although recent technological advances make it possible to monitor patients' ambulatory psychophysiological responses, such data have rarely been used in treatment. This article will provide some arguments for using psychophysiological data in CBT for panic disorder.
