For the past years or so, studies on panic attack disorders (PAD) have accounted for a large proportion of psychiatric research. In spite of the attempts to clarify the etiopathogenesis of PAD, its characteristic psychopathological aspects and the evolutionary stages of its development, its nosographic status is still controversial (despite its inclusion in DSM III-R) and the same is true of the therapeutical approach. Using these observation as their starting point, the authors have divided the present paper into four parts. In the first they attempt to classify PAD in nosographical terms, whereas the second reviews all pharmacological therapies put forward over the past ten years. The third part consists of a short summary of the most widely used psychotherapeutic approaches, and in the last the authors suggest a model of integrated PAD therapy which is still being clinically experimented. The practice of associating pharmacological therapy with a psychotherapeutic approach has certainly been widely used for some time, but the authors underline that the two methods are only fully integrated in the presence of a therapeutic project resulting in a treatment protocol with controls during the course and at the end of treatment. In this context, the psychodiagnostic stage before therapy is particularly important since it provides as precise as possible a picture of the subject's basic personality and psychopathological state. These factors can lead to a wide varation in the choice of drug therapy, and even jeopardise therapeutic success. On the other hand, an exclusively psychotherapeutic approach to PAD does not rule out the onset of recurrent episodes during treatment.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
