In this article we present a 2-yr treatment experience of 14 patients with panic disorder. An approach that utilizes both psychopharmacological and psychodynamically oriented psychotherapy is described. Specific methods of using medication, types and structure of psychotherapeutic interventions, typical response patterns, and reasons for treatment successes and failures are discussed. Our intent is to provide a basis upon which other clinicians may formulate their own treatment approach.
