Abstract

A case of relaxation induced anxiety in a patient with Panic Disorder is reported. The study reports the use of an attentional training procedure which was effective in eliminating panic and facilitated tension reduction without producing anxiety. A two treatment (ABCB) design revealed that a procedure evoking external attentional focus eliminated panic attacks, whereas autogenic training increased the frequency of panic attacks and the intensity of anxiety. The possible roles of self-focus in mediating panic and the effects of relaxation are briefly discussed.

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.
