“…Our conclusions coincide with the 'foot in the door' principle, already advocated by Hand and Lamontagne ( 1976) and Vandereycken ( 1983). The partner should be involved from the very beginning of treatment even if the treatments consists mainly of exposure or other individual interventions focused on the panic disorder.…”

“…Although there is some literature supporting this view (Hafner, 1979(Hafner, , 1982Vandereycken, 1983), there is little empirical evidence that the marital relationship is a significant factor in the development of agoraphobia. Arrindell and Emmelkamp (1 985) even conclude to the contrary, based on a study in which they found that the partners of agoraphobics were no more disturbed than partners in a control group.…”

The impact of family approaches in understanding and treating psychopathology is reviewed for the following disorders: schizophrenia, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, psychoactive substance use disorders, eating disorders, and conduct disorders in children. Family‐oriented interventions are concluded to be useful in treating disorders when applied flexibly and multi‐dimensionally and when used in conjunction with psychopharmacological or other valid individual treatment approaches.

“…Hoewel er enige literatuur is die deze opvatting ondersteunt (Vandereycken, 1983) en hoewel dit standpunt aansluit bij opvattingen die cybernetische gezinstherapeuten huldigen, zijn er weinig feitelijke aanwijzingen dat de huwelijksrelatie een rol speelt in de ontwikkeling van angststoornissen. Kleiner en Marshall (1987) hielden met vijftig patie¨n-ten met een angststoornis retrospectieve, gestructureerde interviews.…”

“…They share nothing else, either dynamically or genetically, which distinguishes them from any other class of symptoms" (Compton, 1992, p. 425). For example, both agoraphobia and panic disorder are attributed to early-repressed anxieties relating to separation experiences (De Poderoso, Julian, & Linetzky, 2005;DelMonte, 1996;Frances & Dunn, 1975;Gassner, 2004;Rhead, 1969;Vandereycken, 1983). Even specific phobias, which usually pose merely a minimal disruption to the individual's daily functioning, such as spider, snake, and dog phobias are accounted for in psychoanalytic terms (Abraham, 1927;Compton, 1992;Moss, 1960;Newman & Stoller, 1969;Tyson, 1978).…”

Fear and Phobia: A Critical Review and the Rational-Choice Theory of Neurosis

This article reviews the empirical status of theories of fear and phobia. Psychoanalysis received little support, as findings tend to refute its basic assumption that phobia results from repressed material. Although conditioning has its weaknesses, it appears to be the strongest explanation of simple phobia. Findings raise question as to whether interoceptive conditioning can account for the development of panic disorder and agoraphobia, as these disorders develop in the absence of environmental conditioning events. A significant body of research supports Clark's claim that catastrophic misinterpretation of bodily sensations are involved in both the development and treatment of panic disorder and agoraphobia. However, the causal relationship between the two remains unclear. Likewise, while biological factors certainly increase the vulnerability to developing fear and phobia, findings have not yet confirmed that these behaviors are controlled by biological mechanisms. A new theory, the Rational-Choice Theory of Neurosis (Rofé, 2010;Y. Rofé & Rofé, 2013), which preserves the psychoanalytic claim that bizarre phobias need to be explained within a theory that accounts for neuroses by one set of theoretical concepts, was used to resolve the theoretical confusion in this field.
