Abstract
Over the past decade, there has been much research related to panic disorder. This is probably due to the high prevalence and incapacitating nature of the disorder. In the United States, anxiety-related disorders are the most prevalent clinical disorder (Michelson & Marchione, 1991), and panic disorder is the most frequently diagnosed of the severe anxiety disorders (Leaman, 1992). Individuals who suffer from panic disorder seek professional help more often than individuals who suffer from any other mental disorder (Margraf & Ehlers, 1991). According to Leaman (1992), 3-4% of Americans either currently have, or will have, panic disorder in their lifetimes. Studies have shown that panic attacks are common in the general population, with 10% of adults occasionally experiencing panic attacks {Margraf & Ehlers, 1991). Craske, Rapee, and Barlow (1992) also found the prevalence of panic to be common, with 6-12% of the population experiencing spontaneous episodes of panic.
