    • Abstract:
      The aim of this study was to examine interpersonal problems among panic disorder with agoraphobia patients before and after treatment. Patients (N = 46) suffering from panic disorder with moderate or severe agoraphobia and considering agoraphobia as their main problem were randomly assigned to receive either cognitive therapy or guided mastery therapy in a six-week in-patient group programme. The Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP) and various symptom measures were administered at pretreatment and at one-year follow-up. Two IIP subscales were derived from factor analysis of the present data: affiliation problems and power problems. The overall pattern of results supported a state model of interpersonal problems. At pre-treatment, the scores on the affiliation problems subscale were clearly related to non-specific state characteristics, that is, to depression and general anxiety. From pre-treatment to follow-up, levels of interpersonal problems decreased significantly. Pre-treatment depression was a powerful predictor of change in interpersonal problems from pre-treatment to one-year follow-up. On the other hand, interpersonal problems at pre-treatment failed to predict the change in levels on various symptom scales.
