A study of agoraphobic housewives

Abstract: synopsisThirty married agoraphobic women referred to out-patient clinics in Edinburgh were compared with ‘normal’ controls (selected from GP records and screened for the absence of psychiatric symptoms) matched on age, sex, social class and marital status. The agoraphobics' husbands were similarly compared with the husbands of the controls. On most measures of attitudes, behaviour, domestic organization and marital interaction, the 2 groups were strikingly similar.

“…Zo blijkt regelmatige 'natuurlijke' confrontatie met de gevreesde situatie (CS) dikwijls niet tot uitdoving te leiden waar die op grond van het model wel zou worden verwacht (Rachman, 1977;Eysenck, 1979). Ook kan de meerderheid van de patiënten achteraf geen aversieve gebeurtenis (UCS) tijdens het ontstaan van hun klachten rapporteren (Buglass et al, 1977;Marks, 1977;Rimm et al, 1977). Waar patiënten zeggen zich zo'n traumatisch voorval ten tijde van het ontstaan van de fobie wel te herinneren, wordt meestal de eerste paniekaanval zelf genoemd (Ost & Hugdahl, 1981).…”
