title: On the need for standardization in panic disorder treatment research: survey of the literature, 1980-1992.
abstract: A retrospective literature survey (1980-1992) was conducted to chronicle the development of panic disorder treatment research. Based on a National Institute of Mental Health conference on assessment standardization in this area (Shear and Maser, 1994), the results and implications of the survey are presented in terms of eight domains of measurement recommended as essential for high quality research.
