resumeang: Comments on K. G. Power and D. M. Sharp's (see record 1995-37967-001) article that questions the efficacy of cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) for panic disorder based on the inclusion, in some studies, of Ss using concurrent psychotropic medication. M. W. Otto et al use the meta-analysis of R. A. Gould et al (see record 1996-17815-001) as a basis for their response and present evidence for the effectiveness of CBT when used in the absence of concurrent psychotropic medicine.
