The treatment described in this Therapist Guide is specifically
designed for adolescents with panic disorder and agoraphobia. Panic
disorder often first appears in adolescence, making effective
treatment for this age group a priority. Left untreated, panic
disorder can severely impair an adolescent's development and
functioning. It can put an adolescent at risk for depression and
have consequences into adulthood. The program was developed at the
Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders at Boston University and
targets patients ages 12-17. It is comprised of 12 sessions to be
delivered over an 11-week period. Adolescents learn about the
nature of panic and anxiety and how to challenge their panic
thoughts. Exposure sessions help them face their fears and stop
avoiding situations that cause heightened anxiety. An adaptation
chapter addresses how to modify the program for intensive(8
day)treatment, as well as how to tailor the treatment to different
ages. Each session includes an optional parent component and an
appendix provides handouts for parents. The corresponding workbook
is specifically designed for adolescent use, with easy to
understand explanations and teen-friendly forms.
