| Abstract: | Two experiments evaluated the public's (Experiment 1) and agoraphobics' ratings of Acceptability and Perceived Effectiveness of five different procedures that have been used to treat agoraphobia. The results showed that both groups evaluated psychological treatment procedures as more acceptable and generally more effective, especially in the long run, than the drug treatments. An exposure treatment was highly rated by both groups, but the two groups differed in their evaluations of a cognitive or a relationship therapy. Recommendations were made for considering the opinions of different consumer groups when evaluating treatment validity. |
