Abstract:
Background. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical correlates of agoraphobic fear and avoidance and panic disorder in a non-clinical sample of adolescents.Method. In a sample of 2365 high school students, combined data from a questionnaire and a structured clinical interview were used to classify subjects with agoraphobic fear and avoidance. Panic symptoms, major depression, childhood separation anxiety disorder, anxiety sensitivity and negative affectivity were also assessed.Results. Fifteen subjects met study criteria for agoraphobic fear and avoidance in the past year. Only three (20%) of those with agoraphobia symptoms reported histories of panic attacks and there was no overlap between those with agoraphobic fear and avoidance and the 12 subjects who met DSM-III-R criteria for panic disorder. However, subjects with agoraphobia symptoms and those with panic disorder reported similar levels of anxiety sensitivity and negative affectivity. Childhood separation anxiety disorder was more common among those with agoraphobic fear and avoidance compared to those without.Conclusion. Agoraphobic avoidance is rare in non-clinical samples of adolescents and usually not associated with panic attacks. However, adolescents with agoraphobia symptoms and those with panic disorder have similar clinical correlates consistent with a panic/agoraphobia spectrum model.

Abstract:
24 agoraphobics, 6 panic subjects, and 27 normal controls were compared on several factors assumed to be associated with agoraphobia. As compared to controls, agoraphobics scored higher on these factors, but, in general, there were no differences between agoraphobics and panic subjects without agoraphobia.

Abstract:
SYNOPSISThree studies examine the role that provocative visual stimuli have in eliciting anxiety reactions in people with agoraphobia. Such stimuli elicit more anxiety in agoraphobic patients than control subjects. The effect of visual stimulation appears to be specific: (1) non-visual stimulation is without comparable effect; (2) both control and agoraphobic groups show similar effects of visual stimulation on another reaction such as headache. The anxiety effects of visual stimuli are correlated with the extent to which subjects experience depersonalization and somatic symptoms of agoraphobia, but not correlated with depression or the behavioural or cognitive aspects of agoraphobia. Alternative accounts of the possible role of visual stimulation in the anxiety reactions of agoraphobic patients are discussed.

Abstract:
This paper reports the results of principal components and stepwise discriminant analyses of anxiety, depression and fear scores for 74 phobic and anxious-depressed psychiatric patients. Factor analysis indicated a coherent agoraphobia factor, with less coherent blood-injury and social phobia factors. Discriminant analysis showed a high degree of correct classification of diagnosed agoraphobic, blood-injury and social phobic patients particularly for agoraphobia. A frequency distribution of the phobia scores indicated an all or nothing quality to agoraphobic fears. The results indicate that agoraphobia is a fairly coherent syndrome, but that more work is needed on the concepts and measurement of blood-injury and social phobias.

Abstract:
BackgroundPanic disorder with agoraphobia is characterized by panic attacks and anxiety in situations where escape might be difficult. However, neuroimaging studies specifically focusing on agoraphobia are rare. Here we used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with disorder-specific stimuli to investigate the neural substrates of agoraphobia.MethodWe compared the neural activations of 72 patients suffering from panic disorder with agoraphobia with 72 matched healthy control subjects in a 3-T fMRI study. To isolate agoraphobia-specific alterations we tested the effects of the anticipation and perception of an agoraphobia-specific stimulus set. During fMRI, 48 agoraphobia-specific and 48 neutral pictures were randomly presented with and without anticipatory stimulus indicating the content of the subsequent pictures (Westphal paradigm).ResultsDuring the anticipation of agoraphobia-specific pictures, stronger activations were found in the bilateral ventral striatum and left insula in patients compared with controls. There were no group differences during the perception phase of agoraphobia-specific pictures.ConclusionsThis study revealed stronger region-specific activations in patients suffering from panic disorder with agoraphobia in anticipation of agoraphobia-specific stimuli. Patients seem to process these stimuli more intensively based on individual salience. Hyperactivation of the ventral striatum and insula when anticipating agoraphobia-specific situations might be a central neurofunctional correlate of agoraphobia. Knowledge about the neural correlates of anticipatory and perceptual processes regarding agoraphobic situations will help to optimize and evaluate treatments, such as exposure therapy, in patients with panic disorder and agoraphobia.

Abstract:
This study measures the effect of personality disorders on the efficacy of treatment of agoraphobia. Forty-one patients suffering from panic disorder with agoraphobia are evaluated for the presence of a personality disorder (according to DSM-III-R criteria) before the onset of treatment. The treatment consists in 14 sessions of behavioural cognitive therapy. Various measures of agoraphobic avoidance are obtained before (pre-test) and after the end of treatment (post-test, three month follow-up). Effect of treatment reaches statistical and clinical significance for all patients. Grouping of patients according to presence or absence of personality disorder shows no significant difference between the groups before or after treatment on scores of agoraphobia. A subgroup of patients with dependent personality disorder does not differ on measures of agoraphobic avoidance from patients without personality disorders or with other personality disorders. The discussion points out methodological limitations, differences in our study from other studies regarding the effect of personality on the treatment outcome of panic disorder with agoraphobia, as well as possibilities for future studies.

Abstract:
SummaryAgoraphobia is believed to run in families, but this belief is not well supported by the literature. Data were gathered on the risk of agoraphobia in parents and siblings of 60 agoraphobic probands; 12½% of the relatives were reported to have or have had agoraphobia. This risk is significantly greater than estimates of the population incidence, and requires explanation. The details of the pedigrees do not directly support simple genetic models while investigations into environmental factors in agoraphobia by other workers have been inconclusive. As a putative case has been established for the familial occurrence of agoraphobia, further work is required to shed light on whether genetic or cultural factors are paramount

Abstract:
The present study examined responses on the Fear Questionnaire (FQ) of 68 patients suffering panic disorder with agoraphobia, 50 social phobics, 75 subjects with ‘non-clinical’ panic attacks, and 188 non-panicking controls. The FQ agoraphobia and social subscales had satisfactory internal consistency and were accurate (82%) in correctly differentiating the patients. In general, the patient and control groups differed as expected. The highest level of social fear was reported by social phobics and the highest level of agoraphobic fear was reported by patients with panic disorder and agoraphobia. Five items from these two subscales significantly differentiated social phobia from panic disorder with agoraphobia. The results support the reliability and validity of the FQ.

Abstract:
Fear and avoidance of individual phobic situations were measured in 1168 patients with panic disorder suffering current attacks. Correlation and principal-components analyses give components of agoraphobia, illness phobia, and social phobia in panic disorder. Agoraphobia does not stand out so clearly as illness phobia and social phobia as a separate factor; ‘fear of open spaces' shows some separation from other agoraphobic situations. Frequency of panic attacks and changes associated with their remission have no special relationship to agoraphobia. Closer attention to social and illness phobia may be fruitful in discerning the evolution of panic disorder.

BackgroundIn this study, we have evaluated the effects of Olanzapine in treatment of panic disorder with and without agoraphobia.Method and materialsPatients whit resistant panic disorder (resistant to tow SSRI agents) who came to psychiatric clinic of Ibn-e-Sina and Ghaem Hospitals-Mashhad during 2004–2005 were enrolled in this study. Low dose Olanzapine (2.5 milligram per day) was administered initially. ALL cases were evaluated by different psychiatric tests such as agoraphobic cognitions questionnaire panic attack and anticipatory anxiety scale, Hamilton depression test and general functional assessment.ResultsIn this study, 30 patients were divided into two groups of panic disorder with agoraphobia (13 cases) and panic disorder without agrophobia (17 cases). Comparing these two groups, all indexes were improved significantly by time but The frequency of panic attacks in the last week minor panic attack duration of panic attacks agoraphobic cognition scale and Hamilton depression indexes were Improved significantly especially in those cases with panic disorder and agoraphobia Although the therapeutic response according to anxiety score, total panic attacks Hamilton depression test and general functional assessment was not showed any Difference.ConclusionOlanzapine augmentation has acceptable effects in the treatment of drug resistant panic disorder with agoraphobia and therapeutic effects were more significant among patients with panic disorder without agoraphobia.

Abstract:
Background: The relationship of panic attacks (PA), panic disorder (PD) and agoraphobia (AG) is controversial. The aim of the current study is to prospectively examine the 10-year natural course of PA, PD and AG in the first three decades of life, their stability and their reciprocal transitions. Methods: DSM-IV syndromes were assessed via Composite International Diagnostic Interview – Munich version in a 10-year prospective-longitudinal community study of 3,021 subjects aged 14–24 years at baseline. Results: (1) Incidence patterns for PA (9.4%), PD (with and without AG: 3.4%) and AG (5.3%) revealed differences in age of onset, incidence risk and gender differentiation. (2) Temporally primary PA and PD revealed only a moderately increased risk for subsequent onset of AG, and primary AG had an even lower risk for subsequent PA and PD. (3) In strictly prospective analyses, all baseline groups (PA, PD, AG) had low remission rates (0–23%). Baseline PD with AG or AG with PA were more likely to have follow-up AG, PA and other anxiety disorders and more frequent complications (impairment, disability, help-seeking, comorbidity) as compared to PD without AG and AG without PA. Conclusions: Differences in incidence patterns, syndrome progression and outcome, and syndrome stability over time indicate that AG exists as a clinically significant phobic condition independent of PD. The majority of agoraphobic subjects in this community sample never experienced PA, calling into question the current pathogenic assumptions underlying the classification of AG as merely a consequence of panic. The findings point to the necessity of rethinking diagnostic concepts and DSM diagnostic hierarchies.

Abstract:
Background: Patients suffering from panic disorder and agoraphobia are significantly impaired in daily life due to anxiety about getting into a situation due to apprehension about experiencing a panic attack, especially if escape may be difficult. Dysfunctional beliefs and behavior can be changed with cognitive behavioral therapy; however, the neurobiological effects of such an intervention on the anticipation and observation of agoraphobia-specific stimuli are unknown. Methods: We compared changes in neural activation by measuring the blood oxygen level-dependent signal of 51 patients and 51 healthy controls between scans before and those after treatment (group by time interaction) during anticipation and observation of agoraphobia-specific compared to neutral pictures using 3-T fMRI. Results: A significant group by time interaction was observed in the ventral striatum during anticipation and in the right amygdala during observation of agoraphobia-specific pictures; the patients displayed a decrease in ventral striatal activation during anticipation from pre- to posttreatment scans, which correlated with clinical improvement measured with the Mobility Inventory. During observation, the patients displayed decreased activation in the amygdala. These activational changes were not observed in the matched healthy controls. Conclusions: For the first time, neural effects of cognitive behavioral therapy were shown in patients suffering from panic disorder and agoraphobia using disorderspecific stimuli. The decrease in activation in the ventral striatum indicates that cognitive behavioral therapy modifies anticipatory anxiety and may ameliorate abnormally heightened salience attribution to expected threatening stimuli. The decreased amygdala activation in response to agoraphobia-specific stimuli indicates that cognitive behavioral therapy can alter the basal processing of agoraphobia-specific stimuli in a core region of the fear network.

Abstract:
A literature search, in addition to expert survey, was performed to estimate the size and burden of panic disorder in the European Union (EU). Epidemiologic data from EU countries were critically reviewed to determine the consistency of prevalence estimates across studies and to identify the most pressing questions for future research. A comprehensive literature search focusing on epidemiological studies in community and clinical settings in European countries since 1980 was conducted (Medline, Web of Science, Psychinfo). Only studies using established diagnostic instruments on the basis of DSM-III-R or DSM-IV, or ICD-10 were considered. Thirteen studies from a total of 14 countries were identified. Epidemiological findings are relatively consistent across the EU. The 12-month prevalence of panic disorder and agoraphobia without history of panic were estimated to be 1.8% (0.7–2.2) and 1.3% (0.7–2.0) respectively across studies. Rates are twice as high in females and age of first onset for both disorders is in adolescence or early adulthood. In addition to comorbidity with agoraphobia, panic disorder is strongly associated with other anxiety disorders, and a wide range of somatoform, affective and substance use disorders. Even subclinical forms of panic disorder (i.e., panic attacks) are associated with substantial distress, psychiatric comorbidity and functional impairment. In general health primary care settings, there appears to be substantial underdiagnosis and undertreatment of panic disorder. Moreover, panic disorder and agoraphobia are poorly recognized and rarely treated in mental health settings, despite high health care utilization rates and substantial long-term disability.

Abstract:
The first aim of the research was to extend the work of Gelfond (1991) to consider how far the symptoms of agoraphobia were present in a non-clinical sample of males and females. This was achieved using both statistical and qualitative (Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis) methods. The results indicated that both male and female participants' experience discomfort when alone in public places on a continuum with clinical descriptions of agoraphobia. Two differences between clinical and non-clinical accounts were identified. The first being that differences appeared to be dimensional (e. g. intensity, preoccupation). Secondly, non-clinical participants' accounts did not describe 'catastrophic misinterpretations' of physiological arousal as seen in clinical accounts. The second aim of the research related to how a gender analysis of male and female participants' accounts of their use of public places alone would contribute to our understanding of agoraphobia. Statistical results suggested that only female participants were significantly avoidant of public places alone compared to when they were accompanied. In addition, three qualitative tools of analysis (Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, Rhetorical Discourse Analysis and Foucauldian Analysis) were adopted. These analyses highlighted social processes by which lone women may experience greater discomfort than lone men in public places, as well as exploring how such processes predispose males and females to react to discomfort in different ways. It is argued that these social processes 'prepare' women, in particular, for anxiety and avoidance on a continuum with symptoms of agoraphobia. This in turn provides an explanation as to why the majority of those diagnosed with agoraphobia are women. This poses questions for the assertion in DSM IV (American Psychiatric Association, 1994) that social practices that restrict women's use of public places should be distinguished from agoraphobia. Clinical and research implications are discussed.

Abstract:
According to theories of social cognition, individuals screen incoming information from the environment using certain cognitive constructs (Wyer & Srull, 1986). Personally relevant construct systems develop from an individuals's particular history of social interactions (Wyer & Srull, 1986). A concern in social cognition theory is whether there are cognitive processes specific to different complaints (Beck & Emery, 1985). This study investigated whether the content of chronically accessible or salient constructs interpersonal constructs could differentiate individuals with social fears from those with different emotional complaints. The accessibility and salience of social constructs of social phobics, agoraphobics, and normal subjects were examined. No differences were found between the groups on an unstructured measure of construct accessibility. Group differences did emerge on a structured task reflecting salience of specific traits. Individuals with agoraphobia reported that they would be more attentive to the dimensions supportive-critical and enabling-bossy. This is consistent with current conceptualizations of agoraphobics as individuals who do not feel they can cope with the dangers of the outside world, and are compelled to seek help from a 'caregiver' (Beck & Emery, 1985). Social phobics reported that they would not be particularly attentive to any of the traits. This may be a result of socially phobic individuals self-focused attention.

Abstract:
The practicians in the mental health field are living fascinating times. The potential clients of psychological services became more sophisticated while searching to obtain emotional or relationship help. They research their symptoms online and learn about psychiatric diagnosis from DSM, and about a multitude of treatments. Today, we wish to get immediate answers to a problem we are confronted with. Therefore, many of the potential clients want a rapid connection with a qualified and objective therapist who adjusts to their schedule. The time needed to go to the therapist’s office for a face-to-face session is increasingly considered a waste of time, being replaced with online therapy. Obviously, essential skills and abilities are necessary for becoming both an efficient online therapist and an efficient online client. In this study, we shall present the case of a 30 years old client, the reasons for asking online therapy being: agoraphobia, current difficulties in the relationship with her partner and professional difficulties. We shall present the experience of the client while looking for a therapist, her acceptance as online client and the assessment, as well as the scheduling of Skype sessions, and termination of the therapy. We shall illustrate the manner in which elements from Schema Therapy (Young, 2003) are incorporated into short-term exchanges. As a result of online therapy, the agoraphobia disappeared, and the client acquired a healthier repertoire of alternative responses to threats of abandonment. Finally, the client shall be able to benefit from a longer online or offline therapy, but the help of the few exchanges offered becomes clear, and the therapist was able to provide sufficient closure even within the short time-frame.

Abstract:
The current paper presents a survey on virtual reality applications and analyses their utility as tools for learning how to overcome phobias, thus improving one's quality of life. Nowadays, phobias do not have a universal treatment, even though medicine is a constantly evolving field. There are hundreds of well-known phobias, such as Arachnophobia (fear of spiders), Agoraphobia (fear of open spaces), Claustrophobia (fear of closed spaces), as well as bizarre ones, such as Coulrophobia (fear of clowns). In some cases, specialists consider that avoiding the phenomenon which causes the phobia is the sufficient treatment; in others, the exact opposite, being gradually exposed to the object of fear may lead to a cure. We have to start looking for other psychotherapeutic methods, innovative ones, in order to help people surpass their immense fears and improve their life quality. Virtual Reality (VR) is a major current trend, a technology which creates a realistic artificial environment that can have a lot of day-to-day applications. Using IT-based solutions for treating real-life problems, especially medical conditions, can be viewed as controversial and provoke scepticism. The current methods of dealing with phobias will be reviewed, as well as the computer-based or VR-based tools used for this genre of treatment. We will analyse the existent VR applications, the concept behind their mechanism and the possibility of exploiting them in a medical environment. There are a lot of challenges coming from such an innovative field, therefore the paper debates whether these IT instruments are useful, difficult to implement or if they can be tested on real subjects. Based on the results of the survey, we will propose a model of a virtual reality application containing some phobias that it should treat, as well as the principle on which it is based.
