The treatment of panic disorder during pregnancy and lactation poses special problems. It is important that both the practitioner and patient consider a number of issues to find the most appropriate treatment for the patient. New cognitive-behavioural treatment options often circumvent the problems of pharmacotherapy for pregnant or lactating women while providing therapeutic benefits which are at least equivalent.

This case describes the cognitive-behavioural treatment of a 40-year-old woman with a 22-year history of infrequent fainting episodes. It highlights three features: 1) the potential importance of undiagnosed medical conditions in people presenting for anxiety disorders; 2) a somewhat unusual comorbid diagnosis of Agoraphobia Without History of Panic and Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia; and 3) the importance of modifying attitudes about performance and responsibility to reduce the chance of relapse.

AbstractDespite its inclusion as a basic component of the cognitive-behavioural treatment for panic disorder, the effects of the provision of information about panic anxiety have not been separately assessed. This study compared information-giving with self-monitoring of panic alone, on panic-related variables and negative affect for 40 people with panic disorder. In comparison to self-monitoring alone, information-giving together with self-monitoring was associated with reductions in anticipatory fear of panic and negative affect, but not panic frequency. These results suggest that provision of information about panic anxiety is an important component of the cognitive-behavioural approach to panic disorder in reducing anxious and depressive affect. The other cognitive-behavioural components of this intervention are required to impact upon specific panic parameters.

Two cases involving the cognitive-behavioural treatment of hallucinations are described. In both cases, a focusing strategy was used with a view to enabling patients to reattribute the nature and meaning of their experiences. One patient showed a marked reduction in the frequency and content of his voices. The second patient showed little change. The implications of observations made during therapy for the future development of cognitive-behavioural strategies for use with psychotic patients are discussed.
