Extract

The effects of applied relaxation and stress-inoculation respectively were tested in an A–B design for one patient with panic disorder and one with generalized anxiety disorder. The treatments took 13 and 12 sessions respectively, and both patients were improved to a large extent as assessed by self-report, self-observation and physiological measures. The improvements were sustained or furthered at the one-year follow-up.
