title: A critical review of the empirical literature on coping and panic disorder.
abstract: The present review critically examines the available empirical literature on coping and panic disorder (PD). As a basis for the review, key terms are defined and conceptual models are presented. The empirical literature on coping processes in relation to PD is then critically reviewed with a specific focus on methodology. For each section, primary conclusions are presented. In the final section, directions for future research are provided both in terms of methodological and conceptual issues.
