1. Celiа is а 26-yeаr-оld, single wоman whо works as a telephone customer relations agent at a bank. Ten months ago, she ended a relationship with a man she had been dating for several years. A few weeks later, she experienced her first panic attack while taking a shower before going to work. The second attack occurred about one month later while she was sitting in her car preparing to run errands. Following this second attack, Celia began experiencing panic attacks approximately three to four times per week. She reports feeling persistently fearful of having additional panic attacks and spends much of her day worrying about when the next one might occur. She has developed anxiety about driving and standing in supermarket lines because she fears having another attack in those situations. As a result, she drives only short distances and very slowly, and she shops only in the middle of the night when the store is nearly empty. She has significantly reduced her social activities, including dating, although her work performance has remained largely unaffected. During her panic attacks, Celia experiences a racing heart, shortness of breath, abdominal distress, sweating, dizziness, and an overwhelming fear that she is dying. These symptoms begin suddenly and typically resolve within approximately ten minutes. Celia has come to treatment because she wants to overcome her panic attacks, regain her independence, and resume her previous social life. 2. John is a 42-year-old, married man who works as a teacher in the local school. Three months ago, after staying late to grade papers, he was walking to his parked car when he was attacked by a group of teenagers. They assaulted him, repeatedly punching him in the face and abdomen, stole his car keys, and drove away with his vehicle. His car was recovered several days later, badly damaged. John was treated in the emergency department for broken ribs and released the same day. One week after the assault, his wife attempted to drive him back to work. As they approached the school parking lot, John began shaking, felt nauseous, and insisted they return home. He was unable to return to work and took a one-month leave of absence. Since the assault, he has experienced recurrent nightmares about the attack, is easily startled, feels detached from those around him, becomes anxious when riding in the family car, is irritable with his wife and daughters, and has difficulty falling asleep. When he eventually returned to work, both he and his principal noticed that his teaching performance had declined. John also reports repeatedly thinking, "I should have known better than to walk to my car alone that late." He feels ashamed that he "couldn't fight back" and now believes that people cannot be trusted. He avoids talking about the assault with his family because he believes that discussing it will only make him feel worse.
