DISCUSION QUESTIONS
1. Please apply the cognitive behavioral model to this case example: A client presents with panic attacks and fear of being out on public spaces and crowded places where a quick “exit” or escape might be difficult. The client has been avoiding any situations that might involve crowds including stores, malls, and restaurants. This avoidance has begun to limit her life. She is terrified she will have a panic attack if she enters any of these situations and fears that she may even die or go “crazy” if she experiences another panic attack. Please apply the CBT approach to this case. Be sure to include how exposure therapy would fit.
2. What are the core principles of feminist therapy (Ch. 12)? What might be the advantages of using a feminist therapy approach?
