Predictors and moderators of outcome in cognitive behavioral and panic-focused psychodynamic psychotherapy for panic disorder (Project POSE).

Description

Panic disorder with or without agoraphobia (PD/A) is a highly disabling and chronic condition for which a number of evidence-based treatments are available, all with modest efficacy over the long-term. This thesis examines the role that receiving one's preferred treatment has on long-term outcomes for cognitive behavioral and brief, panic-focused psychodynamic therapies, in a doubly randomized clinical preference trial. In addition to to the role of preference on the primary outcome (clinician-rated PD/A severity), studies will assess the impact of preference on self-reported panic symptoms, broader indices of functioning including work ability, and how comorbidity effects both primary and secondary outcomes.
