Official Title: Phase 2/3 Study of Panic Control Treatment vs Panic-Focussed Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Under Randomized and Self-Selection Conditions

Brief Summary: The efficacy of two forms of psychotherapy with panic disordered patients, a cognitive-behavioral and a psychodynamic one, are compared under two different, randomized conditions: randomization or self-selection. The basic hypotheses are that the efficacy of both treatments is higher and that the efficacy difference is smaller under self-selection than randomized conditions.
