Abstract

This case example demonstrates the role of massed exposure in optimizing treatment outcome in panic disorder with agoraphobia. Treatment of a 28-year-old male patient in a clinical routine setting is described. Full remission was achieved after an 8 day period of intensive treatment and proved to be stable at follow-up (6 months). More systematic research including controlled studies comparing massed and spaced exposure is suggested.
