Treatment of Phobias: I. Comparison of Imipramine Hydrochloride and Placebo
Abstract
In a controlled-outcome study of phobias, 218 adult phobic patients (147 women and 71 men) received a course of 26 weekly treatment sessions that consisted of behavior therapy (BT) and imipramine hydrochloride, BT and placebo, or supportive psychotherapy and imipramine. The BT consisted of systematic desentization using fantasy and assertiveness training. Patients were classified as agoraphobic, mixed phobic, or simple phobic. Although the conditions of most patients in each group showed moderate to marked improvement, the effects of imipramine were significantly superior to those of placebo in patients with spontaneous panic attacks, ie, patients with agoraphobia or mixed phobia. In patients with simple phobia, who do not experience spontaneous panic, there was not a significant difference between imipramine and placebo. This study clearly distinguished those phobic patients who experienced spontaneous panic from those who did not in terms of pharmacologic benefits.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
