The role of trauma and dissociation in cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy outcome and maintenance for panic disorder with agoraphobia

Abstract

The relationship between traumatic experiences and dissociation with pretreatment psychopathology and rates of recovery, relapse and maintenance for patients receiving cognitive-behavioral treatments for panic disorder with agoraphobia (PDA) were investigated. One-hundred and forty-seven subjects who met DSM-III criteria for agoraphobia with panic attacks and who completed participation in one of two previously conducted treatment outcome studies were mailed packets containing measures to assess history of trauma, victimization and dissociation. Eighty-nine of these were returned and completed sufficiently to be included in the present study. It was hypothesized that a variety of trauma-related variables (e.g. history of traumatic experience, type of trauma, age at which the trauma first occurred, perceived responsibility, social supports available, self-perceived severity, level of violence, and whether or not the traumatic event was followed by self-injurious or suicidal thoughts and/or behaviors) and dissociative symptomatology would be predictive of (1) greater psychopathology at pretreatment, (2) poorer treatment response and (3) higher relapse rates and poorer maintenance over a 1 year longitudinal follow-up. These hypotheses were supported by the findings and the theoretical, empirical and clinical implications are discussed.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Dissociation can become maladaptive and possibly interfere with treatment.

    “Thereby, dissociation can become maladaptive [10] and possibly interfere with treatment [46–50].”
  • Cognitive-behavioral therapies can be less beneficial during states of stress or dissociation.

    “and they can be less beneficial during states of stress ( van der Kolk and Fisler, 1995 ; Raio et al., 2013 ) or dissociation ( Michelson et al., 1998 ; Rufer et al., 2006 ; Spitzer et al., 2007 ; Kleindienst et al., 2011 ; LeBois et al., 2022 ; but see also Halvorsen et al., 2014 ; Zoet et al., 2018 ; Vancappel et al., 2022 ).”

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.
