title: Global panic reaction II - a 7-step repetitive vicious circle.
abstract: The GPR-II model describes a "7-step" panic model. In this model, the single panic patient is not only affected as single member. The pressure weighing on him is not only exerted by external factors but also by group members of his network. Therefore, he has to cope with his individual problems and with the expectations of all members. The "therapeutic" model of instant sedation used (rescue screens) and long-lasting steps (behavioural therapy in group models) are not appropriate to treat the patients successfully.
