Abstract

Volume I of this thesis is concerned with the effects of psychotherapy on the human brain. A literature review provides a critical evaluation of brain imaging studies that attempted to identify how neural processing changes in patients after having received cognitive-behavioural therapy for an anxiety disorder. The research paper reports the findings of a randomised controlled trial that investigated how the brain’s threat processing mechanisms changed after patients received cognitive behavioural therapy for their panic disorder.
