THIS CLIENT (FIGURE 18) SUFFERED FROM AGORAPHOBIA, SO WE CHARTED HIS PANIC ATTACKS

Other therapists had suggested that the cause was his marriage, but, as seen by the graphi, that is unlikely. The likely cause is his general self-confidence level. When he liked himself and felt he was worthwhile, his panic reduced significantly, but when he felt he wasn't good enough, he got panicky.

Any time period--an hour, day, week or year--can be graphed.
