A form of treatment for panic disorder based on certain psychoanalytic concepts.

CONT

PFPP [panic-focused psychodynamic psychotherapy] and psychoanalysis are based on similar psychoanalytic concepts, yet are distinguished from each other on a couple of key points.

PFPP, on the other hand, is generally shorter and more specifically focused on sorting out the specific symptoms of panic disorder and agoraphobia.
