Looking forward to the published data

• RESEARCH ALERT: FIRST RESULTS FROM THE MULTI-CENTER CLINICAL TRIAL ON THE TREATMENT OF PANIC DISORDER - COGNITIVE BEHAVIOR TREATMENT VS. IMIPRAMINE VS. THEIR COMBINATION by Georg Eifert, Ph.D., 4/14/98
  • Panic, CBT and Imipramine by Paul Salkovskis, 4/14/98
    • Combining CBT with imipramine vs. combining CBT with placebo by Georg Eifert, Ph.D., 4/21/98
      
      

Georg: Thanks for the clarification. I recalled the results as indicating that CBT/placebo did not significantly differ from CBT/imipramine, also that CBT/placebo did significantly worse in the long term than CBT alone. Sounds like I misremembered the results, or they changed in the final analysis after presentation in the UK. The current issue of Verhaltenstherapie has a fascinating study using Alprazolam (Xanax) or placebo during exposure sessions in flying phobics. Very clear effects found, with alprazolam associated with a return of fear relative to placebo. This whole area is hotting up at the moment. best wishes, Paul
