Living in the shadow of fear: an interactionist examination of agoraphobia

Lemon, David John January 2004 (has links)
This thesis investigates the experience of agoraphobia among one hundred research participants by focusing on how social interactions contribute to the onset, the unmanaged symptoms stage, and the managed symptoms stage of this anxiety disorder. The study investigates how social interactions such as family upbringings, familial stressful events, one-off and clusters of traumatic events and accumulated stressful events can contribute to the onset of agoraphobia. It examines how research participants' social interactions during their primary and secondary school years, youth, everyday life, travel, marriage/intimate relationships, parenting, post secondary education and employment were affected during the unmanaged symptom stage of agoraphobia. Participants' experiences of the public perception of agoraphobia, stigma and discrimination, coming out experiences and family and friends' reaction to agoraphobia are also explored. The third stage of the study examines social interactions that hinder or promote the management of agoraphobia. The former are found to include hiding panic attacks, making excuses, using flawed personal coping mechanisms and alcohol. Social interactions that were found to assist in the management of agoraphobia include labelling and learning about the mental illness from others, using companions in public places and situations, and seeking help from knowledgeable health professionals. Other forms of interaction that helped with management included participants' usage of Internet chat-rooms and websites as well as the discovery of faith and spiritual experience. Finally the study investigates research participants' changed social interactions following their emergence from the shadow of agoraphobia.

A reliabilty and validity study of panic attack symptoms and cognitions questionnaires

Broyles, Susan Elizabeth January 1987 (has links)
Anxiety may be experienced in a variety of response modes. There is evidence to suggest that panic disordered individuals differ from individuals with other anxiety diagnoses in that they experience a greater increase in somatic symptoms and catastrophic cognitions. Further it has been suggested that panic disordered individuals, as compared to other anxiety disordered individuals, experience greater global anxiety and depression. The present study compared the total scores of 93 disordered subjects on the Symptom Assessment Questionnaire and the Cognitions Assessment Questionnaire and found that both questionnaires discriminated panic disordered subjects from non-panic disordered subjects. The two questionnaires also discriminated subjects with panic attacks from subjects without panic attacks. Item analyses were conducted on both questionnaires in order to identify specific items which differentiated panic disordered subjects from non-panic disordered subjects and subjects with panic attacks from subjects without panic attacks. Factor analyses were conducted on both questionnaires, resulting in the identification of somatic and cognitive factors salient to the phenomenon of panic. In general, the identified factors supported and expanded upon the panic symptoms listed in DSM-III. Finally, two widely used measures of anxiety and depression were administered to subjects. Panickers scored higher than Non-panickers on measures of state-anxiety, trait-anxiety, and depression. The Panic Disordered Group scored higher than the Non-Panic Disordered Group on the depression scale. However, the Panic Disordered Group scored no differently from the NonPanic Disordered on the state-anxiety and trait-anxiety inventories, suggesting that the presence of panic attacks in all anxiety diagnostic groups weakened the ability of the tradition anxiety measures to distinguish between the comparison groups. / M.S.

An Investigation of a Minimal-Contact Bibliotherapy Approach to Relapse Prevention for Individuals Treated for Panic Attacks

Wright, Joseph H. 16 September 1997 (has links)
The present study was designed to test the efficacy of a bibliotherapy-relapse prevention (BT-RP) program for panic attacks in which the active BT-RP condition was compared to a waiting-list control condition. Prior to the administration of the six-month BT-RP program, all participants completed an initial BT intervention (Febbraro, 1997) based on the book Coping with Panic (Clum, 1990). The BT-RP program was designed to: (a) review major components of the initial intervention; (b) increase practice of panic coping skills and therapeutic self-exposure; (c) enhance social support for panic recovery; (d) teach cognitive restructuring skills related to relapse prevention; (e) provide a protocol to follow in the event of a setback; and (f) reduce overall levels of stress. Brief monthly phone contacts were included in the BT-RP condition. Thirty-six participants, 17 in the BT-RP condition and 19 in the WL control condition, completed the study. A 2 (Treatment condition: BT-RP versus WL control) X 2 (Time: Pre-BT-RP assessment versus Post-BT-RP assessment) mixed-model research design was used to analyze the results. Results indicted significant reductions from pre- to post-treatment in the BT-RP condition for panic cognitions, anticipatory anxiety, agoraphobic avoidance, and depression, but not in the WL condition. When statistically controlling for initial levels of these variables via analyses of covariance (ANCOVAs), significant post-treatment differences in the expected direction emerged for these four dependent measure and for state anxiety. In addition, the BT-RP group reported significantly fewer panic attacks during the six-month course of the treatment trial than the WL control group on a measure of retrospective recall of full-blown panic attacks. There was also a statistically significant proportional between-group difference in terms of clinically significant improvement for full-blown panic attacks and agoraphobic avoidance in favor of the BT-RP group. However, no significant between-group differences emerged for the maintenance of initial treatment gains for panic frequency, panic symptoms, panic cognitions, anticipatory anxiety, or agoraphobic avoidance. Results of the present study are discussed in the framework of benefits of the present BT-RP program, limitations of the findings, recommendations for future research in this area, and implications for BT treatments in general. / Ph.
