TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the relationship between panic attacks and avoidance behavior and found that avoidance behavior is not a simple function of panic severity, but a style of responding to the anticipation of panic that is dependent on factors other than the severity or frequency of panic attacks.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the role of panic-expectancy in patterns of avoidance and found that the predicted probability of panic was the variable of most significance for individuals with panic disorder, although ratings of the physical symptoms of panic and fear tolerance levels related to some extent.

TL;DR: The behavioral model assumes that alcohol consumption is a socially acquired, learned pattern of behavior which occurs as a function of antecedent and consequent events which include situational or environmental factors as well as the alcoholic’s cognitive and affective states.
Abstract: For more than 20 years, a controversy has raged between the proponents of two conflicting models of alcoholism. One model, typically referred to as the traditional or disease model (Pattison, Sobell, & Sobell, 1977) assumes that alcoholism is a progressive, irreversible disease which may cause the abstaining alcoholic to experience an irresistible craving for alcohol and the indulgent alcoholic to lose control over alcohol consumption. The etiology of alcoholism, according to this model, is physiological and/or genetic in origin. In contrast, the behavioral model assumes that alcohol consumption is a socially acquired, learned pattern of behavior which occurs as a function of antecedent and consequent events. Such events include situational or environmental factors as well as the alcoholic’s cognitive and affective states.
