Mastery of Anxiety and Panic for Adolescents: Therapist Guide: Riding the Wave

Donna B. Pincus, Jill T. Ehrenreich, and Sara G. Mattis

Abstract

This online therapist guide is specifically designed for working with adolescents with panic disorder and agoraphobia. It features the program developed at the Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders at Boston University and targets patients aged 12-17. It is comprised of 12 sessions to be delivered over an 11-week period. Adolescents learn about the nature of panic and anxiety and how to challenge their panic thoughts. Exposure sessions help them face their fears and stop avoiding situations that cause heightened anxiety. An adaptation chapter addresses how to modify the program for intensive (8 day) treatment, as well as how to tailor the treatment to different ages. Each session includes an optional parent component and an appendix provides handouts for parents. A corresponding online workbook is specifically designed for adolescent use, with easy to understand explanations and teen-friendly forms

Keywords: panic disorder, PD, agoraphobia, adolescence, depression, panic thoughts, parent component, cognitive-behavioral therapy, CBT
