N2  - Background    Considerable empirical research supports psychotherapy as an effective intervention for panic disorder. Less evidence is available regarding clinicians' perspectives on the ideal therapy processes that should be prioritized when treating panic disorder.       Aims    The purpose of this study was to explore psychotherapists' process priorities and points of consensus and disagreement concerning the treatment of panic disorder.       Material & Methods    Thirty-four psychotherapists reviewed a prototype description of a hypothetical client with panic disorder, and rank-ordered ideal process features using a forced-choice, 100-item measure. The resulting composite therapy process was compared with expert-rated CBT and psychodynamic process ratings.       Results    Several points of agreement and disagreement emerged regarding ideal therapy process for panic disorder. Overall, therapists' ratings were closely aligned with CBT process, though therapy relationship ideals were prominent.       Discussion    Research can illuminate therapy processes valued by clinicians for the treatment of particular disorders.       Conclusion    While therapists' ratings were overall associated with CBT ideals, common factors concerning the therapy relationship emerged as prominent and agreed-upon processes in the treatment of panic disorder.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
