QUESADA, Silvia; ARANO, María Paula; MORANDI, Paola y PEREZ, Marcelo. Assessment of intervention modalities in the public sphere for population with panic disorder. Anu. investig. [online]. 2015, vol.22, n.1, pp.53-57. ISSN 1851-1686.
We are presenting the conclusions of a clinical research project developed by the General Directorate for Health and Social Assistance, UBA, which assessed the therapeutic eficacy in the treatment of a panic attack. The results were based on the comparison of two therapeutic modalities: Focal Psychoanalytically Oriented Psychotherapy (POP) and Combined Treatment (TC) - POP and Psychopharmacological Treatment. The sample group was comprised of 55 subjects with panic disorder (based on DSM-IV TR panic disorder diagnosis) who randomly received one or another weekly treatment during a period of 12 weeks (one session per week). The results showed that POP and the TC are effective intermission methods for the treatment of panic disorder, the ability to reduce the symptoms, improve the quality of life of the patient, and maintain long term results. POP favors adherence to pharmacological treatment. The TC showed no significant differences with regard to POP with relation to its eficacy.
