There is a kind of pain that is invisible and terrifying -- panic attacks. In their most extreme form, people are so paralyzed with fear that for years they are unable even to leave their own homes. Psychologist David Barlow and Director of the Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders at Boston University says a number of factors, including heredity and stress can make a person vulnerable to panic attacks. But there is a pioneering therapy that, in many cases, could be an alternative to drugs or months, even years of therapy in treating panic attacks with agoraphobia. The idea behind this therapy is to have the patient confront their fear in a controlled setting.This "20/20" show contains the following additional story:A Touch of MadnessThis product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.

High-Yield Learning for Therapists-to-be by yayalover (Kailua, HI)  5 Stars
September 03, 2008
I am a psychiatrist in a teaching hospital. I have used this DVD repeatedly to show psychiatric residents how to do exposure therapy. Sure, there is more to it than is shown in the DVD, but it gets the basic idea across in a limited amount of time. It is difficult for therapists to watch their patients/clients in distress. I like the fact that this DVD shows how the long-term benefits can make the discomfort very worth it for both client and therapist alike.
