title: Reports of childhood incest by adults with panic disorder or agoraphobia.
abstract: A convenience sample of 94 members of an agoraphobia self-help group responded to an anonymous survey on their possible histories of childhood incest. 12 (13%) respondents reported such a history. These results are discussed in terms of hypothesized etiologies of panic disorder and agoraphobia.
