Abstract: Twenty patients were examined for the purpose of diagnosing panic attacks (PA). The initial examination was carried out with the help of clinical interviews and psychodiagnostic tests. All the examined patients showed somatic manifestations of PA, in combination with increased indices of personal and reactive anxiety. After interviewing and testing, patients were offered psychotherapeutic work with a psychologist, as well as training in relaxation techniques. The results of diagnosis and short-term psychotherapy can be useful for the therapy and prevention of panic anxiety conditions.
Key words: Anxiety, fear, panic attack, integrative psychotherapy, relaxation
