title: Panic and phobic disorders. Current cognitive behavioural strategies.
abstract: The past 5 years have seen the development of a number of treatment strategies suitable for panic and phobic disorders. At this stage, a combined drug and psychological approach is appropriate. Not all patients will accept medication. A number of cognitive-behavioural techniques can be used with hope of success. Sessions must include positive statements such as 'you can do it', 'be persistent', 'look forward to this activity' and 'I am achieving'.
