B. Milrod, THE CONTINUED USEFULNESS OF PSYCHOANALYSIS IN THE TREATMENT ARMAMENTARIUM FOR PANIC DISORDER, Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association, 43(1), 1995, pp. 151-162
The case of a late adolescent with panic disorder and obsessive-compul
sive disorder is described. The patient experienced resolution of both
disorders in brief psychodynamic psychotherapy, but required psychoan
alysis in order to make inroads into his restricted life-style. This c
ase illustrates the continued usefulness of psychoanalysis in the trea
tment of such patients.
