Advances in the Psychosocial Treatment of Anxiety Disorders

Implications for National Health Care

David H. Barlow, PhD; Cassandra L. Lehman

Arch Gen Psychiatry. 1996;53(8):727-735.

Abstract

Recent developments in the psychosocial treatments for anxietydisorders suggest that we have reached an early plateau. Evidencenow exists on the effectiveness of psychosocial treatment approachesfor every anxiety disorder when compared with no treatment orcredible psychosocial placebos. In many cases these procedureshave limited clinical effectiveness and much remains to be learnedabout the disseminability and clinical utility of these approachesin the context of emerging national health care plans. We arejust beginning the first generation of multisite studies examiningthe potentially synergistic effects of proven psychosocial treatmentsand proven drug treatments. These studies that have substantialsignificance for national health care are reviewed and somepreliminary results are reported.
